Set a course end date with cohorts

A platform admin can create several cohorts for one course, and each cohort can have a different end date. If a student does not finish the targets before their cohort's end date, they cannot finish them after that date.

Steps to create a cohort and set its end date​

  1. On the Courses page in the dashboard, click Edit Curriculum for the course you want.

  2. Go to the Cohorts page.

  3. Click Add Cohort. A side panel opens.

    A default cohort is created for you with every new course. To change it, click its name, or click the ⋯ (Actions) button at the end of its row, then click Edit.

  4. Enter the details:

    • Cohort name.
    • Cohort description.
    • End date, which is optional.

  5. Click Add Cohort to save and create the cohort.
