Transfer or move a course to another account

In this article: Your options for moving a course to a different Ruzuku account — what you can do yourself and what requires support help. All Plans

Sometimes you need to move a course from one Ruzuku account to another. Maybe you're consolidating accounts, handing off a course to a co-instructor, or leaving an organization. Here's what's possible.

Copy a course within your account

If you just need a duplicate in the same account, you can do this yourself on any plan.

Go to your Courses page.
Click the gear icon on the course card.
Click Copy Course.
Name the copy and choose whether to bring over the sales page, price points, and coupons.
Click Copy Course.

The copy includes all modules, lessons, and content. Students are not copied — you start with a clean enrollment.

For full details, see Copy a course.

Copy a course to another account (Pro)

On Ruzuku Pro, site admins can copy a course from one instructor's account to another.

Go to Manage Site → Courses.
Find the course and click its title.
Click Copy Course.
Enter the name or email of the destination account.
Confirm.

The copy appears in the other account with all content intact. The original stays in the source account.

What copies: Modules, lessons, text, video, audio, and files. Course structure and settings.

What doesn't copy: Student enrollments, payment records, discussion posts, and assignment submissions. The destination account gets a fresh course ready for their own students.

For full details, see Copy courses from one account to another.

Pro feature: Cross-account course copying requires a Pro site and Admin access. Guides can copy courses within their own account, but only Admins can copy between accounts.

Merge two accounts into one

If you have two Ruzuku accounts under different email addresses and want to combine them, this is not self-service. Contact support@ruzuku.com.

Include in your email:

Both email addresses
Which account you want to keep as your primary
Which courses need to move

The support team can consolidate your accounts and move courses to the one you want to keep. They typically respond within a few hours (M-F 10am-6pm ET).

Transfer course ownership to another person

Transferring a course to someone else's account is not self-service. Contact support@ruzuku.com and explain the situation.

Common scenarios:

You're leaving an organization and handing off your courses to another instructor
A co-instructor is taking over a course you built
You hired someone to build a course in their account and want to move it to yours

The support team can help with the transfer. What they'll need: both account email addresses, the course name, and a confirmation from both parties if the accounts belong to different people.

What transfers and what doesn't

	Can transfer	Cannot transfer
Course content	Modules, lessons, text, video, audio, files	—
Course structure	Settings, access format, style	—
Sales page	Copied with course (optional)	—
Student enrollments	Case by case (contact support)	Not via self-service copy
Payment history	—	Stays in the original Stripe/PayPal account
Student progress	—	Does not transfer
Discussion posts	—	Stay with the original course

The key thing to know: content and structure travel easily. Student data and payment history do not, because they're tied to the original course instance and payment processor account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I move my students to a new course?

Not automatically. If you copy a course and want existing students to move to the new copy, you would need to invite them to the new course using free invitations. Their progress from the original course does not carry over. For large groups, contact support@ruzuku.com to discuss options.

I have two accounts under different emails — can I combine them?

Yes, with help from the support team. Email support@ruzuku.com with both email addresses and which account you want to keep. The team can merge courses into your primary account.

Can I transfer my Stripe connection to another Ruzuku account?

Your Stripe connection is tied to your Ruzuku account, not to individual courses. Each Ruzuku account connects to its own Stripe account independently. If you're transferring a course to someone else, they'll need to connect their own Stripe account to receive payments for that course going forward.
