What problem are you trying to solve with Submitty
Despite having multiple date / time formats in our codebase (MDY, DMY, YMD) - see DateTimeFormat.php, the entire site can only use one of them at a time. This can cause confusion for users who aren't familiar with whatever formatting is set.

Describe the way you'd like to solve this problem
There should be a dropdown in the user profile settings that allows the user to choose which date/time format they want to use.

Describe any potential alternatives you'd tried to solve the problem

• The date/time formatting could be set per course, but I don't think this is the best solution as it would open the door for an inconsistent user experience for students.

• The date/time formatting could be left to the admin, but this would have the same drawback of our current system for users who aren't familiar with the set formatting.
