My Scenario:
I have approximately 36 Courses with an estimated 100 Students enrolled each semester. At the end of each semester I suspend the students in their given course and enroll the next batch of students. My question is, how do I lock/freeze students grades so that if an alteration is made to an assessment / other resource activity the grade of a suspended user will not be affected. Additionally is there a way or method to do this in bulk?
Alternatively, is there a method to record the grades of students and have these grades available to students via their dashboard or profile if they are unenrolled from their course(s).
And why would you not just duplicate the course after each semester..? And put the next 100 users there? You'd keep discrete histories of the grading without all that hassle? Past courses you'd just hide from students, and voila ?
That's probably what I would do.
Displaying course grades to students who are suspended or unenrolled is probably impossible. I think what you can do is hide all the course sections for such past courses, but keeping the final course grade viewable for students - then they'd see it also in on their "Grades overview" page ("Grades" link in their user menu, also "Grades overview" in their profiles.)

Maybe there are some workarounds i don't know or remember 
. I hope some of these thoughts above can help.
