All times are set to your institution's local timezone. If you need to change this you may do so in your course, settings tab, selecting the more appropriate time zone.
When you view your Quest home page it will default to the current Quest semester. If you have no courses in the current semester but you do have courses in an active semester it will default to the most recent semester with courses. You can change semester you are viewing by using the dropdown menu for semesters.

When creating a course make sure you select the appropriate semester. You can create courses up to two semesters in advance in Quest. Students can begin enrolling in courses when a semester gets marked as "Active". Below are the dates for "Active" semesters along with student access dates.

If you want to create a course for the next semester, but it isn't listed yet (side note, we usually activate semesters ~2-3 weeks before the start of a term), you can make the course in the present semester and then ask us to roll it over to the upcoming semester once it is set. If you have any questions about this, feel free to send us a note at questhelp@austin.utexas.edu
The current default semester is set at the start of each term's student access start date.
