Edit Course Details

Use this procedure to edit the course's title, section title, start and end dates, and time zone.

To edit the course details:

1. Open the course that has the settings you want to change.
2. Do one of the following to display the Settings page:
   • Click the Settings link at the top of the course window.
   • Click the Study Plan tab, then click Change Course Settings.
   • Display the Home page, then click the View button in the My Course block.
3. Click the Edit button for Course Details.

   The Course Details page is displayed.

4. Change the settings as needed.

   Edit the title for your course: The course title is displayed in the course to both you and your students.

   Edit the section name for your course: The section name is also displayed in the course to both you and your students.

   Edit the Course Start Date: Use this option if you need to change the course's start date.

   By default, students have access to a course on its start date, but you can override this default and specify whether or not students have access to the course (see Edit Student Access Properties).

   Edit the Course End Date: When selecting the end date, keep in mind that the MyLab archives a course at 11:59 p.m. on its end date. You can, however, still access an archived course. (A student's access to your course is dictated by the course start date and the end date of the student's access code. Because an access code is valid for 12 months, a student can continue to work in a course as long as his or her access code is valid, which may be past the course's end date.)

   Edit Time Zone: Select the time zone for the course. Also see Your Course's Time Zone for information on how the time zone affects submission dates and dates in Gradebook reports.

5. Click the Save button to save your changes.
