Please keep in mind that there is no commitment to moving forward even after conversion to UCV. We can revert your course site(s) to Original up until the start of classes. However, you will lose any development work done in the UCV environment and will need to prepare the course again.    

You will see a banner at the bottom asking if you wish to keep the Ultra Course View. To keep the Ultra View, click the Use the Ultra Course button.

When you are finished, check the Conversion Exceptions to review incompatible items.

Now that your course is converted to the Ultra Course View, visit How to Navigate Ultra Course View.
