These fields are used to determine the assignments a student is accountable for if they are added to a class or leaving a class. Students added to a class after the class started or leaving a class may not be responsible for certain assignments. Enter in the Start Date they are responsible for when adding this student. Enter the due date of the last assignment this student is responsible for in the End Date field.
For example, Natthakarn Boissiere started the class on 1/23/2014 and will not be responsible for assignments with due dates before 1/23/2014.
The End Date is used for students who have left the class. Enter an End Date and the student will not be responsible for assignments with due dates after the students gradebook End Date.
For example, Anne Marie Breceda left the class on 8/5/2014 and will not be responsible for assignments with due dates after 8/5/2014.
