Participation In Your Online Class Is Not Only Important, It is Required





As your ELI course(s) begin, it is important to keep in mind attendance and participation in your ELI courses are very important. In fact, your attendance and participation are not just important, they are required. Students who have not attended and completed their first assignments by the Census Date will be administratively withdrawn from the course by their instructor.  This has several outcomes of concern including:

·       Reduction in class load and possible change (if less than 12 credits) from full time to part time status (both potentially affecting financial aid)

·       Loss of tuition (yes, an administrative withdrawal will cause you to lose the money paid as tuition for this course)

·       No record of the class or letter grade on your transcript

As soon as your class begins, log into Blackboard and explore your course Blackboard. Locate and review your course syllabus and assignments tab thoroughly.  This will give you a chance to see what you will be responsible for throughout the semester. In addition, this will also allow you sufficient time to plan your time appropriately, making certain you will be able to complete your readings, assignments, projects and tests in time for their specified due dates. To that end, take a moment to record all of the assignments in your paper or online planner.  Once you have recorded all of the assignments, you will need to break them down into daily manageable tasks.

Again, it is crucial to ensure you have completed and submitted your first assignment prior to the Census Date to avoid being administratively withdrawn from your course.
