Set Up your Default Time Zone
Online assignments at 香港伦理 are aligned with the Eastern Standard Time zone. Throughout the course duration, all dates, deadlines, and times are presented in alignment with the Eastern Standard Time zone.

If users have configured a specific time zone in their User Settings, all course-related dates and times will be displayed in their local time. However, by hovering over the date and time, users can also view the corresponding course date and time in the Eastern Standard Time zone.
How to change your time zone from the EST default:

- Click Edit Settings.
