Date Rollover

  • Choose from two methods available to adjust the course dates as follows:
    • Select Adjust All Dates to push all the dates forward for your class. You may find this very helpful at the start of a new semester.
    • Select Adjust Individual Dates if you need to modify just a few dates or if the course dates are not being moved forward equally.

  • If you select Adjust All Dates:
    • Blackboard displays the date of the earliest dated item in your course.
    • Click on the calendar icon to select the new start date for this earliest dated item. All assignments, quizzes, etc. in the course will be adjusted the same number of days forward.
    • Press the Adjust All Dates button to finish.

 

  • If you select Adjust Individual Dates:
    • You will be given a table which lists all the assignments, quizzes, etc. which can be adjusted with the Date Rollover tool.
    • Adjust each start and end date, as needed.
    • Press the Save button when finished.
