How do I set a different event date for each section in a course calendar?
If your course has sections, you can set different event dates for each section in the Calendar.
Notes:
- You need to add sections to your course before you can set a different date for an event for each section.
- You can also add duplicate calendar events for course sections.

Add a title [1] and location for the event [2]. The date and time fields are automatically populated based on the current date but do not need to be removed.

The default date is removed and replaced with all the sections in your course.
For each section, type in a date, or select a date by clicking the Calendar icon [1], and specify the start and end time [2]. If you don't want one section to see the event, leave the date and time fields blank.
Note: When the Use a different date for each section checkbox is selected, the Frequency drop-down menu is removed.

View Events
View the events in your course calendar. Each section will have a separate Calendar event.
