Introduction

The Deadlines setting allows Department Administrators and Registrar's Offices to set when instructor submissions are due for each Module. Deadlines are informational and do not restrict instructors from submitting data past the deadline date. Instructors will see their submission deadlines on their home page as well as on each course's submission form. Instructors will also receive an email reminder for any unsubmitted courses with upcoming or past deadlines.
