Set course scheduling

The Scheduling tab allows you to set default schedule rules that control when learners can access the course, when it is due, and when it expires. 

The due dates and expiry dates you configure here can also be used to trigger automated email reminders to learners. See Email notifications to set these up.

To setup default schedule rules for your course, in the 'Setup course' section, go to the 'Scheduling' tab.

Availability

Select when the course becomes available to learners after enrollment:

• Immediately after enrollment — learners can access the course straight away
• X days from enrollment — enter a number of days before the course becomes accessible
• Fixed date — set a specific date and time for the course to become available

Due date

Toggle on 'Due date' to set a deadline for course completion:

• X days from enrollment — the due date is set relative to when the learner is enrolled
• Fixed date — set a specific date and time

Once enrolled, learners will see a due date tag on the top right the course card.

 ❗️ Note: Learners will still be able to access the course after the due date has passed.

Expiry date

Toggle on 'Expiry date' to set a date after which learners can no longer access the course:

• X days from enrollment — the course expires relative to when the learner is enrolled
• Fixed date — set a specific date and time

 ❗️ Note: Once a course has expired, learners will no longer see or access it.
