Expiration and re-enrollment dates allow users to be assigned courses on a set schedule or specific date. Once a course has been created, you can enable course expiration and assign a re-enrollment date to your course. The length of time to complete a course will be taken into account. For example, if a course is set to expire in 365 days after user completion and the course Due Within is set to 7 days, the course will be assigned to the user in 358 days.
Note: Some features may be restricted based on permissions for your user role.

You can determine if the expiration will be based on the Completion Date, Enrollment Date, or a Specific Date.
Note: Setting the expiration to be based on a specific date, i.e. December 31, 2023 will not automatically change it the following year, ie. December 31, 2024. This day will need to be manually adjusted each year if the course is one that is taken annually
Confirm Auto Re-Enroll
The Auto Re-Enroll checkbox [1] will be enabled by default. If auto re-enroll is disabled, users can still access the expired course and its contents but will not be re-enrolled in the course. To set the date at which the users will be automatically re-enrolled, enter a number in the Auto Re-Enroll text field [2].
Note: The number in the Auto Re-Enroll text field must be equal to or lower than the number in the Valid For field.
