How do I restrict student access before or after a course date at the account level?
<p>As an Admin, you can choose to set default restrictions for student access in your institution. These restrictions include student access to courses before the start date and/or after the end date. </p> <p>To manage student access, you can set the default value but allow instructors and sub-account admins to edit access for the course and sub-account levels as necessary, or you can set and lock the student access setting for the entire institution. The checkbox settings at the account level are passed to the sub-account and course levels as default values.</p> <p><strong>Restrict students from viewing course before start date: </strong>When a student enrolls in a future course, the course displays in the Future Enrollments section in the student Courses list. Once a course is published, the course displays an invitation to join the course, where the students can view course content at any time before the course begins. However, when the student restriction for the course start date is <em>enabled</em>, students cannot view a link to the course until the start date, even if the course is published.</p> <p><strong>Restrict students from viewing future courses in enrollments list:</strong> When a student enrolls in a future course, the course displays in the Future Enrollments section in the student Courses list. However, when the <em>view courses before the start date</em> restriction is enabled, a second option is displayed to completely remove the future enrollment from the Courses list. This setting can also be enabled to keep students from knowing they are enrolled in a course with a future start date. </p> <p><strong>Restrict students from viewing course after end date: </strong>Once a course has concluded, students can still view the course but all content is displayed in a read-only state. However, when the student restriction for the course end date is <em>enabled</em>, students can no longer view the course in the Courses list after the course has concluded. This setting can be used if your institution uses the course across multiple terms and want to restrict students from accessing prior content for future students, or if students have to re-enroll in the course. </p> <p>These restriction settings also apply to the override start and end dates for the course. If no override dates are specified, the start and end dates apply to the term dates.
