Blackboard end of semester procedures

 Student Access:

Spring 2015 student access to Blackboard courses will end the morning of Saturday, May 16. 

If you want to have all students in your course disabled at exactly the same time, you can make your course “Unavailable” at the date and time that you determine (for example, if you want them to lose access Friday at midnight or even Thursday).

If you choose to make your course “Unavailable” earlier than Saturday, it would be helpful to post that information or e-mail your students, so they are not confused by different access policies between multiple courses.

Incompletes:

• All Spring 2015 students given a grade of I (Incomplete) will be able to access the Spring 2015 courses again in Blackboard after grades are posted by the Registrar.
• Students who have an I (Incomplete) will remain enrolled in their Spring 2015 Blackboard course until either the grade converts or 30 days into the Fall 2015 semester.
• If faculty have assigned any student a grade of I (Incomplete), they must make their Spring 2015 course set to be “Available” in the Course Settings area in the Control Panel or the student will not be able to access the course.
