Changing the Dates a Course Is “Open” to Students

If you want to grant students access to one of your courses earlier than the first day of class, here are the steps to change the availability date. The same steps apply if you want to extend student access to a course beyond the default closing date, which at Johnson County Community College (JCCC) is two weeks after the end of finals:
  1. Log into ANGEL and access the specific course.
  2. Select the Manage tab.
  3. In the Course Settings nugget, select the General Course Settings link.
  4. Scroll down and make the required changes to the Course Begins date and time settings and Course Ends date and time settings.
  5. Be sure the check boxes in front of the two settings are selected.
  6. Click the Save button at the bottom of the screen.

It’s important to note that by default, the Course Begins date at JCCC is set to the first day of the class and the Course Ends date is set to two weeks after the class ends.

I'm assuming you've enforced start and end dates thru envars at the admin level?

Yes, we are using environmental variables to enforce start and end dates.
