Yup, we've noticed this. When we're not logged in it displays the start/end dates translated to Greenwich Mean Time but if we're logged in it recognizes our personal time zone preferences. So if our course is set to end July 1, 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time the listing will show an end date of July 2 when not logged in, July 1 when logged in. If we push the end time early enough then the GMT time and EST date will coincide so we won't notice a difference.

You may try making the module requirement scoring 1/1 (or something) on a no-submission assignment. We do this in some of our courses where completion is determined by the student's final grade in the gradebook. The instructor goes through the gradebook and gives just the passing students a "1". For past courses, you may need to make sure the section/course end date is after the date you do the grading (otherwise the student didn't "complete" the course in time). ... View more

We do not use this code in practice, but I think the following code should do it. The "productenrollment__notice" class may be used for other displayed items, though, and this code would hide them, too. The class is not used for the "You are already enrolled" message or the regular "Enroll" button. Couldn't think of other messages that might use it. .ProductEnrollment__Notice { display: none; } ...

Jessica, I had the same issue about a year and a half ago. At that time Instructure told me I could not revert to "no image" and have it inherit the parent catalog's image again. I had to download the image(s) I wanted the subcatalog to "inherit" then upload them into the subcatalog. Not sure if this has changed since then, but I don't see an obvious way to revert to no/default image. It would be helpful, though. Best, Leigh Bernstein Boston College ... View more

I'm seeing a difference depending on browser. In Firefox and Safari both the hyperlink and image buttons seem to work correctly (a popup appears where I can enter the website/image URL). In Chrome this popup does not appear. The editor in Chrome does seem to add the <a> and <img> tags to the HTML, but it does not give the user the chance to enter the href or src values. Screenshot of the hyperlink button working correctly is below: ... View more

Ditto Kevin Hitt's response, except I do believe that you do not have to set explicit section dates, Catalog will use the course dates if section dates are absent. But, yes, you do have to re-save the Catalog listing in the admin interface. A source of occasional irritation. One possibly relevant thing that has happened to me: I've created the course in Canvas as an admin and set the start/end dates, but have not yet added any people (even instructors), then I create the listing. In this case, Catalog will not pull the start/end dates because without any people, the Canvas course does not yet have a default (or any) section. Until there is a section in the course (which happens automatically once you add the first person) the listing will say "Self Paced".    ... View more

It displays correctly in the Canvas course settings. April 9, 11:59pm Eastern Time (screenshot below). It seems like when I'm not logged in Catalog displays the date according to GMT (despite me browsing from an EST location). And it matters if the date is during daylight savings time or not. If the date in Canvas is during EST (e.g. March 1) then Catalog will add a day for any end time after (and including) 7:00pm EST (12:00am GMT next day). If the date in Canvas is during EDT (e.g. April 1) then Catalog will add a day for any end time after (and including) 8:00pm EDT (12:00am GMT next day). Is this a recent development, or have I just not noticed it before? ... View more

We're seeing the same thing at Boston College. The Canvas end dates for "Lent 2019" and "Living Community" are April 9, 11:59pm. The course is set to EST and I am browsing from within EST. When I'm not logged in the displayed end date in Catalog is April 10 (incorrect), when I log in it shows April 9 (correct). I just noticed this today (I was asked to change and end date and when the requester looked to confirm it was not the same date I saw). I cannot remember this happening before, and we've frequently used 11:59pm end times. What is the behavior I should expect to see when not logged in? Date displaying according to the course time zone? Date displaying according to the time zone I'm in while browsing (preferred, I think)? Date displaying according to some default time zone (GMT?)? Logged in: correct April 9 end dates Logged out: incorrect April 10 end date ... View more

We have actually not used any user defined fields at BC. Our schools were mostly interested in obtaining data for every one of a student's enrollments -- not just the user's initial account registration. My understanding is that UDFs only do the latter (correct me if this is no longer -- or never was -- the case). Instead our schools have been using surveys within the Canvas course to obtain the desired data. ... View more

In the bit of testing I did, it seems like if you do check the "Restrict" box for the section, the course will disappear from the student's Dashboard (it does not just get grayed out or locked) and will not appear on the PDF Transcript. So the student cannot view the certificate, or see any evidence in Catalog that they took the course (let alone completed it). ... View more

Wish I could help, but we have not yet run any Programs in Catalog -- just individual Course listings. I've done some experimenting with them in Beta to see how we might use them, but have not played around with the Course order as Jaclyn described. ... View more

We have been doing this with a no-submission assignment that the instructor grades complete/incomplete based on the student's final grade. To my knowledge they have been doing this manually, but would the gradebook's "Import" feature <https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12786-415255013> help speed things up? I've never used it, but it seems like you can export the gradebook without the "certificate assignment" graded, in the resulting csv put a formula in that column to give the appropriate people the appropriate grade, then save and Import the revised csv.
