The Course Enrollment Page
If you search for a course in the course catalog then click the course thumbnail, you will view the course enrollment page.
The start and end date will show above the Enroll button. The end date may not show if the course is not ending any time soon.
If the course is self-paced and the course has already begun, the start date will show today's date. This means you can start today!
Your Dashboard

If the course hasn't started yet, its start date will be listed below the course title.
After the course has started, its end date will be listed below the course title.
The Course Homepage
When you click the course title from your dashboard, you will find your course homepage. You can view upcoming deadlines and the final course end date on the right hand side details under Important Dates. When the end date is approaching soon, it will be posted there. The course end date will be labelled Course ends.

The end date (in addition to any due dates on assignments) will show on the Dates tab. You can read more about due dates in this article.
