Allow early access to material
We used to be able to select/deselect the option "Users can only participate in the course between these dates" in the course settings page. I typically allow students to enroll early and used to be able to give them access to the material ahead of time. This is no longer possible.
Please bring back this feature.
Students have access to a course once you enroll them and publish the course. If your students are not seeing specific information please contact the Support Desk. We will need to investigate what is occurring with the course.

When I contacted the Support Desk I was informed that this was the desired behaviour.
Case id # is 00066408 and the details are below:
The Development Team has confirmed that the 'Users can only participate in the course between these dates' option isn't editable by the class instructor. This feature was always set to locked, however due to site issues in the past it is highly possible that at some time that instructors could have accessed this locked feature however it won't have been by site design. This feature doesn't take away or add any functionality from the course therefore it was deemed not a necessary feature to be enabled. All of the functionality in NetAcad is governed solely by the course start and end dates.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions regarding this feature.
Kind regards,
