End of the Semester Blackboard Checklist

Confirm that grades have been entered for all students and all gradable items in the course. You may want to enter a O for unsubmitted work, or optionally choose to automatically add Os for all unsubmitted work after due dates. See Gradebook Settings.

To add a letter grade in the Total column, create or choose a grading scheme on the course’s Settings page.

On the Assignments page, ensure all gradable items are in categories and any weights are set.

You can either import final grades from Canvas or enter them manually into Patriot Web.> Instructions for importing grades from Canvas.

For reference purposes, we recommend that you download a copy of your gradebook.

Decide if you want to allow students to have access to your course after the semester ends. By default, students will retain view access. If you want to remove student access, on the course’s Setting page, check the box for “Restrict students from viewing course after course end date.” View detailed ITS Canvas course publishing guide.

There are specific, required steps if you need to provide continued course access to a student with an incomplete. View ITS guide on Incompletes in Canvas.
