For admins and editors

By default, all Cohorts are evergreen and will not expire. You may optionally set up an access end date to expire access for all the learners at a specific time.

Note: If you would like for learners to have read-only access to their past Cohort, mark the Cohort complete instead of closing the Cohort. Closing the cohort will expire access so that a learner cannot review the path at all.

Add a close date 

You can add a close date to your Cohort under Cohort Settings. Open your Cohort and select the three dots (...) at the top of the course Path directly under the name of the Path. This will open a menu with additional options. Select "Configure Cohort" from the menu:

Toggle "Limit learner access" ON, then select the calendar icons to pick start and/or end dates for your cohort:

Learners will only be able to access the Path between these dates. Save your changes and exit.

Remove a close date

If you need to extend learner access to a Cohort, you can extend or remove the end date. Remove the end date to give learners unlimited access to review the Path.

Open the Cohort Settings. Under “Availability,” you'll see the option to "Limit learner access." You'll see the dates that were added earlier. Click the X beside the date to remove it, or select the date to choose a new end date.
