Course Start Dates allow Admins to adjust how courses appear on a student's Year page, similar to Semester/Quarter Courses. This adjustment is recommended for individual students who may miss a significant amount of school, transfer students, or students who are changing course enrollment in the middle of the term.
By changing the Start Date, Focus Areas will redistribute across the Year page to better reflect the total amount of time students will have to work on them between their Start Date and the End Date. As such, for transfer students, it is often recommended to change their Start Dates and exempt them from Focus Areas that they will not be held responsible for.
