Start date and finish date in certificates

By default...

when a student finishes a course, the certificate will show the following dates:

  • start date: the day the student first logged into the course.

  • end date: the day the student finished the last course's class or test.

But...

the course manager can define alternative start and finish dates to show up on the certificate.

How?

  • Open the course editor and the specific course for which the certificate is being configured.

  • Scroll down to course settings and click on the "Configure certificate for students" toggle.

  • Fill in the Start date and End date boxes.

Those dates will appear on the certificate, regardless of when the student first logged into or finished the course.

Remember: changes made to this course setting will only affect new certificates.
