  2. For assignments and tools, locate the gray drop-down arrow next to the respective name of the content. Select Edit.

  3. Scroll down to the Availability section.

  4. Selecting dates for Display After will make that assignment/tool appear after the entered dates. Ensure the box is checked.

  5. Using Display Until will make an assignment/tool disappear from a student's view after the entered dates. Ensure the box is checked.

  6. Before submitting the new settings, Make the assignment Available must be selected as well. The assignment/tool will still appear according to the entered dates as long as that box is selected. Without it, the assignment/tool will never appear to the students.

It is possible to use one setting without the other. If you want the assignment/tool to appear immediately, leave Display After unchecked. You can still set Display Until independently.

Display After/Until for Tests

  1. Similar settings are used for the test option. Locate the gray drop-down arrow next to the name of the test, and select Edit the Test Options.

  3. Using the image above, locate the Display After/Until Settings under the same section.

  4. Set any dates and times accordingly, but make sure that the box next to Display is checked if you are using that respective setting.

  5. Select submit in the bottom right-hand side of HuskyCT.
