By default, course offerings are inactive to the learners. When a course is active it becomes accessible to learners in the My Courses widget and in the Select a Course menu. The course is immediately available for learners to access if there are no start and end dates set.
If a Start Date and End Date are set but the instructor does not select the Course is active check box, the course does not become accessible to learners on the selected Start Date. The course must be activated using the Course is active check box on the Course Offering Information page.
