Feb ’25 – Announcement Scheduling

Tuesday Tip GIF banner.

Did you know that course announcements in Webcourses@UCF can be scheduled to go live at a specific date and time? Additionally, thanks to recent improvements to the “Assign to” interface for assignments, pages, modules, and more, announcement scheduling now resembles the Available from and Until dates workflow many users are already familiar with. This process replaces the previous Delay Posting checkbox setting.

Please note:

  • You are not required to enter dates in both availability fields, so if you want to delay your posting but do want your post to appear indefinitely, you can leave the Until field blank.
  • To delay the posting of your announcement, schedule the announcement to be available at a future date.
  • The Available from date is also the date the announcement is published.
  • If there is no Until date, the announcement will remain visible.
  • Once the Until date is reached, the announcement is no longer visible to students.

For assistance, please contact Webcourses@UCF Support.
