Tip of the Week!
As we approach the end of the semester you will be finalizing your course and submitting course records. Since we only do some of these things a few times per year, it’s easy to forget how! Fortunately, everything you need to know is on the Finalizing Your Course page on the IDC website!
On this site you will find information on:
- Finalizing Your Course Checklist
- How to archive e-mail on Outlook
- Exporting grades from Blackboard
- How to save documents as PDF
Your schools will distribute information regarding the things they would like you to do to finalize your course for the semester.
Course Merge Requests
Please be sure to submit your course merge requests soon! Once the courses become available to students (24 hours before the courses begin) they are no longer eligible to be merged.
Course merge requests can be submitted here: http://bit.ly/mergerequest
Please make sure you thoroughly review the Course Merge FAQs document prior to filling out a merge request!
Blackboard Upgrade/Notification
- Effective Saturday, May 16th, Blackboard will contain only courses that are two years old or newer. This means that courses from Summer 2011 (201110) through Spring 2013 (201230) will no longer be available on Blackboard.
- Prior to this switch, please make sure you archive, export, copy or download any materials you need from courses from these semesters.
