Question

How can I adjust the start date or end date for my D2L course?

Answer

If you would like to give students access to your D2L course shell before the term begins, or extended access after the course ends, you can adjust the Start and End Dates of the D2L shell.

NOTE 1: By default, student access to course shells ends 7 days after the course ends.

NOTE 2: If you manually change the start or end dates of your course shell, and then any element of the course is changed in ISRS (i.e. course dates, course section number, or course name), the course dates entered in ISRS will overwrite any manual changes that you have made.

NOTE 3: If you need to give an individual student access to a course shell to make up an incomplete, contact Beth Jensen in eLearning Support
