Changing Your Course Duration


NOTE: The course duration allows the instructor to control when course materials are available to students/participants. When course shells are created the course duration date is set to expire 30 days after the end of the semester. When the duration expires, students will still be able to see the link to the course but they will not be able to access the course content.

Course Control Panel - under the heading Course Options

From the course Control Panel, under "Course Options", click Settings

Course Duration in the Settings menu
Click the Course Duration option in the Settings menu.
Change Duration Dates

Change the "End Date" to reflect when you want the content to be available to your students or participants. (When course shells are created, this date is set by default to 30 days after the end of the semester.)

After the changes have been made, click Submit to accept the changes.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Bob Armstrong at 410.455.3885 or rarmstro@umbc.edu or blackboard@umbc.edu.
