How do I add start, due, and end dates to course modules and content?

Module Start, Due, And End Dates

1. From the course navigation bar, click Content.
   
2. From the left, select the module you would like to modify availability dates for.
   
3. Beneath the name of the module, click Add dates and restrictions.  If a date is already populated, click the date.  
   
4. Start Date, Due Date, and End Date fields will appear.
   
   
   • Start Date – The date and time learners will gain access to the module.
   • Due Date – The date and time learners should complete the module activities.
   • End Date – The date and time learners will no longer be able to access the module.
     
     PLEASE NOTE:  These dates apply only to the content and links in the module or sub-module.  Learners are able to access Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions, and Surveys from the Course Tools menu, so it is important to establish start, due, and end dates on each activity if they should be restricted.
5. When finished, click Update.
