# Add start and end dates to the registration window

A registration window may be set to control when a Cohort is available to learners for enrollment. For example, you may choose to open enrollment, but keep access to the content closed until a future start date. Or you may choose to close enrollment after the scheduled Cohort begins.

## How to set a registration window

You can limit the registration window under your Cohort settings. To access your Cohort settings, open your Cohort and select the **three dots (...)** at the top of the course Path directly under the name of the course. This will open a menu with additional options. Select **"Configure Cohort"** from the menu, then "**Configure availability**":

Once you've toggled on "**Limit registration window**", **select the calendar icon** to pick start and end dates for the enrollment period for your cohort. Learners will only be able to register for the Cohort between these dates. Save your changes before exiting.

## What learners see

If the Cohort is open to the public or to members for enrollment, prospective learners will see the registration dates displayed on the Cohort.

For invite-only Cohorts, anyone using an invitation link will be unable to enroll via invite until the registration window is open.
