If I assign a student an incomplete grade, how do I give the student ONGOING access to the Brightspace course site?

NOTE: All students who have not completed all course work by the end of the term should be assigned a grade of Incomplete (“IN”) when grades are submitted to the Registrar (see Faculty Handbook, version May 2020, Section 4.6, page 62-63).

Students who have been assigned an “IN” grade (incomplete) may be given ongoing access to the current semester’s course OR to an upcoming section of the same course depending on the needs of the student as determined by the instructor.  

To allow a student continued access to the current semester’s course or a recently closed course, please make a request by filling out the form located here.  

1. On the form Brightspace Access for Student with Incomplete, please fill in all required fields.
   - The course ID is located in the lower left corner of the course “card” as it appears in your “My Courses” section of Brightspace.  
   - For the Student Role Requested field, please request that the student be changed to Learner (incomplete).  

2. When the student is finished with their coursework, please return to this form and request that access be removed.
NOTE:  It is very important that YOU request that the student be removed from the course once their requirements are completed.  We do not want students retaining long-term access to courses in Brightspace.
