# Course modules

> Create, organize, and manage modules and submodules in Courses.

[Lessons](../../products/courses/create-a-lesson) and [quizzes](../../products/courses/course-quizzes) in your course live inside **modules** and **submodules**. Think of these like categories and subcategories to help you organize your course.

For example, your Course is for beginner drummers. You may have lessons that teach drumming techniques and information about the gear you recommend. You could create modules for "Techniques" and "Recommended gear."

Additionally, you can control when certain modules and submodules are unlocked for students.

### Locked Status

After choosing the Lock status, select the lesson or quiz that must be completed in order to unlock the module or submodule. Then, click **Lock.**

<Note>
  **Note:** You won't be able to select a lesson or quiz unless it is published.
</Note>

If a customer attempts to open a module, lesson, or quiz that is locked, they will see a message saying "This Category is Locked!" (for modules) or "This Post is Locked!" (for lessons and quizzes). These pages are not customizable. However, the language will change based on your site's [Language Settings](../../account-settings/my-kajabi/change-your-site-language).

#### How quizzes unlock modules

By default, after someone completes a quiz (regardless if it was passed, failed, or not graded) it will unlock a module.

If you want to require a quiz to be passed before unlocking a module, customize the quiz settings.

1. In the **Course Outline**, click a quiz **Title**.
2. Click the **Settings** tab.
3. In the **Grading** section, enable **Set a passing grade** and enter a percentage.
4. Check the box **Prevent member from marking quiz as complete without a passing grade.**
5. Click **Save.**

#### How Assessments unlock modules

Unlike quizzes, **assessments** can unlock modules, regardless if they are passed.

If the Course template includes a **Mark as Complete** button on lessons, quizzes, and assessments, then this means an assessment can unlock the next module, when:

* The assessment is completed (regardless if it is passed)
* The complete button is clicked (regardless if the assessment is completed)

As a workaround, you can hide the Mark as Complete button in the Course template. This will hide the button from all lessons, and requires someone to complete the assessment before unlocking the module.

<Note>
  **Note:** The Assessment feature inside of Courses has been sunset. This feature may still appear in older accounts. We recommend you use [quizzes](../../products/courses/course-quizzes) inside Courses. Assessments can still be added to Pages.
</Note>

## Delete a module

1. From the Dashboard, go to [Products > Courses](https://app.kajabi.com/admin/last_site/courses) and click a **Course Title** in the list.
2. Move your mouse over a module, click the **trash icon.**
3. Click **Delete Module** or **Delete Submodule**

<Note>
  **Note:** Before you can delete a module, you must move any submodules, lessons, or quizzes inside it to a different module, or delete them.
</Note>
