How to move up your course start date. Select Settings. In the Course Details tab, scroll down to the Participation box. You should see the term Start and End text boxes just below it that indicate when your published course will become accessible to your enrolled students.
Your course roster may change during drop/add, which means that students not yet registered for your course will only be able to retroactively access your message if you use the Canvas Announcements tool.
