Once you have configured your pools, you can use the pools when you create a course list in the program version or area of study for elective and substitution pools.

    Require Start DateClosed Select the option you want Anthology Student to use for Start Date validation. The options are Not Required, Required and Modifiable, and Required and Not Modifiable.

Best practice is to configure the Start Date field as Required and Modifiable or Required and Not Modifiable. This allows institutions to make sure the start dates tied to students enrollments are accurate based on the start dates configured and tied to the program versions, as well as, leverage term association for building out the student’s academic years for financial aid.
