See attached checklist and, if you would like a gradebook consultation, contact information can be found at the bottom of the checklist.

Your Feedback is Appreciated!
During the semester, our students answer our calls & address tickets. When writing recommendation letters and/or conducting evaluations, we do use comments from surveys to help us.
In the event that one (or more students) has helped you and you would like to contribute to their employee record, please share your feedback here:

Summer and Fall 2025 Brightspace course shells have been created.
These courses are unavailable to students until you make them available. Instructions on how to make courses available can be found here:
Instructors and students can access Class Progress, where instructors can see overall how all students are doing and students can see a summary of how they are doing.
The Class Progress tool helps track your student’s progress in a course by measuring the completion of different progress indicators. To access the class progress tool, select Class Progress in the Navbar of your course.
