You can change name of the course, the start date, grade scale, daily order, course color, start date of your course, schedule type, days of the week that the course lessons should be assigned, number of lessons per day, and the Estimated Course Schedule. Click Save Course to save the changes.
Note: changing your start date, schedule type, days of the week, or lessons per day after a course has been started may conflict with existing schedule edits you have made.
If the parent needs to adjust the schedule when the student has already started the course and completed lessons, the parent can make those adjustments starting from the first incomplete lesson.
Example: The family has co-op meetings on Fridays, starting in January, so the student can only do Math on Mondays through Thursdays instead of five days a week. Go to the course and click on “Course Settings.” Click the toggle for Change Schedule After Starting. The start date blank will update to be the current date of the first incomplete lesson. You can also pick a specific date if you want the first incomplete lesson to be on a different date. Then make your changes (in this case, removing Friday as a possible school day) and click “Save Course.”
This will shift on the Calendar all lessons for that course, but the Homeschool Hub will keep track of when the original date assignments were completed regardless of where the completed lessons were scheduled.
