Add individual due date

Originally asked by a community member in the Litmos Community forum on 11 November 2025.

We have a group of courses that are randomly assigned as needed for employee improvement. Is it possible to add a due date when we assign the course to someone or do we need to manually track the completion using reports?

    Hi Callie,

    You can assign a due date in the Course Settings. This can be set in one of two ways:

    1. Specific date: for example due on 11/12/2025
    2. Time span: for example due within X days/weeks from the date the course is assigned

    The due date applies to all users assigned to that specific course. For that reason, I usually default to the time span option. If you use a specific date (say 11/12/2025), anyone assigned the course after that date will immediately appear as past due. Whereas a time span due date is rolling, meaning it adjusts based on when each user is assigned the course.

    I hope this is helpful. 🙂
