Course Section Dates in Canvas Free-for-Teacher

It's very hard to find accurate information on course dates in regards to FFT accounts. I just want to confirm that there is NOT a feature for setting start and end dates for a section in a course. Is that correct?

We run a course several times in a year and currently create a different section each time we run it to control student enrollment and access to assignments.

We would like to control student access to the entire course by setting an end date after which they would not be able to view the course. This is not possible in FFT, correct?

@JenniferAdmin  Teachers of FFT courses should be able to navigate to the settings area of their courses, click on a section, and use Edit Section to place an end date on the section. Enabling the "Students can only participate..." checkbox puts the course in a view-only mode. I took this screenshot while acting as a teacher in a FFT course.
