If learners are required to complete a course within a certain time frame, you can set this when creating or editing the course:
- On the SETTINGS tab, scroll down to Group access settings.
- Indicate the number of days or weeks each learner has to complete the course using the 'Time limit' field:
- For all learners: Next to 'All learning space users'.
- For groups of learners: Next to the name of the group in 'Groups with specific permissions'. To do this, you firstly need to create and add learners to a group then add the group as a group with specific permissions.
- In Course time limit settings, indicate what happens when a learner does not complete the course within the required time frame.
- Click Save Changes.
Course time limits begin at midnight following a learner's enrollment into the course. Learners receive reminder emails one week and again one day before their course time limit is reached.
Course time limit settings
When a course time limit is set, you can configure what happens when learners do not complete the course in the specified time frame. The options are:
- Notify learner - Sends email notifications to learners prompting them to complete the course. When selected, you can specify if the notifications are sent once, every three days or weekly after the time limit is up.
- Lock enrolment - Restricts learners from the course until an administrator unlocks their enrolment. Administrators can unlock enrolments from the Course Insight or Enrolment Insight pages.
- Fail learner - Automatically fails learners.
In addition to these outcomes, you can select users to be notified each time a learner does not complete the course within the set time frame. Users who are eligible to be notified must have the 'Perform approvals' permission as part of their learning space access level. For more information, see 'Understanding access levels in Clui'.
Time limit conditions
If a time limit is set for all learning space users and a different time limit is set for members of certain groups, the group level time limits override the learning space level time limit.
For learners who are in multiple groups with conflicting time limits, the earliest completion date applies.
Exempting learners from time limits
If you want to set a time limit for all learners in your learning space except a selection of learners, create a group containing the applicable learners, add the group as a group with specific permissions and leave the time limit field blank.
The time limit you set for all users in your learning space will not apply to members of the group.
