About course activation and course Start and End Dates

When a course is active it becomes accessible to learners in the My Courses widget, and in the Select a Course menu. If no Start Date and End Date are set in the Course Offering Information the course is immediately available for learners to access.

If a Start Date is set for any date after the activation occurs, when the start date is reached the course becomes visible to learners in the My Courses widget, and in the Select a Course menu. This is dependent on the configuration variable settings in use at your organization.

When a course’s End Date is reached and the course is still active, the course is no longer visible to learners in the My Courses widget, and in the Select a Course menu. This is dependent on the configuration variable settings in use at your organization.

Important Note: If a Start Date and End Date are set but the instructor does not select the Course is active check box, the course does not become accessible to learners on the selected Start Date. The course must be activated using the Course is active check box on the Course Offering Information page.
