How to Set Course Start and End Dates in SI Lab Portal

Updated on

All courses with enrolled students must have start and end dates set by the instructor. These dates will set when students are able to begin enrolling in the course and purchasing their kits, as well as shutting down course access at the end of the term.

Do not set a start or end date on your institutional master course. This course should stay open to allow you to receive any lesson updates or make any desired customizations over time.

1. Enter the course that you wish to set start/end dates in, then select "Class Info."

After entering the course, navigate to the "Class Details" section on the left-hand side of the page, above the lesson list. Then, select "Class Info."

2. Under "Class Details," select the "Edit" button.

3. Scroll down to the "Class Dates" section.

4. Select "Click to choose a date" in the Class Start Date and set the start date for your course.

When you select "Click to choose a date" a calendar drop down will appear. Navigate to the course start date and select the date. Once selected, the start date will appear in the text box.

If you select the wrong date, select the garbage can icon on the right side of the text box to clear the selection.

5. Select "Click to choose a date" in the Class End Date and set the end date for your course.

Follow the same process as in step 4 to set the end date for your course.

6. Select "Submit" to save the start and end date for your course.
