Clear the check box to the left of the course, equivalent, or curriculum name to remove a course, equivalent, or curriculum that you previously selected, if desired.
In the Effective Date box, change the effective date, if desired. The effective date is the date on which the assignment begins, and the date from which the system begins looking for completions of the assigned learning items.

See Adding a Curriculum. Enrollment occurs when a student clicks the Enroll button for a course, equivalent, or equivalent course within the curriculum. Additionally, each learning item can be set to allow the assignment effective date (fixed effective date) to serve as the effective date for the learning item. If the assignment effective date option is used, the relative effective date (if added) will only apply if the curriculum is chosen as elective learning from the student Catalog tab.
In the Start Date box, change the start date, if desired. The start date is the date on which assigned courses, equivalents, and curricula will appear on the students’ My Learning page.
