# How do I extend or expire the dates of a Scheduled Course?

There are two Start and End Dates that you can set in your Scheduled Course: In the **Scheduled Course Details** section are the **Offer Start** and **End Dates**, while in the **Program Details** section are the **Start** and **Expected End Dates**.

The dates on top (**Offer Start** and **Offer Expected End Date**) dictate the timeframe when the applicants or students are allowed to apply or enrol on the scheduled course.

While the dates below (**Start** and **Expected End Date**) dictate the semester start date and its expected semester end date for the student to complete studying the course.

 

To extend or expire the dates of your Scheduled Course that relates to the Online Applicant Portal or Student Portal, refer to the instructions below:

1. Refer to this knowledge article: [**Add New Course Offer**](/home/paradigm-knowledge-base/academic-scheduling/workflows/manage-scheduled-programs/add-a-scheduled-program.md) for more details on how to Add a Scheduled Program/Add a New Course Offer in Paradigm.
2. Choose **Courses** > **Edit Scheduled Course** menus on the side. Search for the Scheduled Course that you want to extend or expire the dates.
