How do I close a discussion for comments in a group as a student?

As a student in a group, you can close a discussion for comments if it meets the following conditions:

  • You are the creator of the discussion.
  • There are no replies to the discussion.

After a discussion is closed, no replies are allowed.

Note: Once a discussion is closed for comments, only instructors can re-open it.
