Blackboard (Faculty) - Date Management: Update Due Dates and Availability Settings

Before you begin the Date Management process, confirm that all of your assessments have Due Dates.



The Date Management Process will not list an assessment if the assessment does not have a check box and date in the Due Date section.

   2. Choose Date Management from the Course Tools list.
      
      
      
   3. Select the option for date adjustment
