About this article
This article includes instructions for setting start and end dates on Brightspace courses. It is intended for instructors.
Overview
WSU instructors have permission to adjust the start and end dates of their Brightspace courses. When empty course shells are created automatically every semester, default dates are added. The default start date is the first day of classes and the default end date is two weeks past the day final grades are due. Instructors can change those dates at any time, opening access to their Brightspace course earlier than the first day of classes and/or extending the end date indefinitely, for example. Note that any Brightspace course also needs to be active in order for students to access it.
