End of semester tasks
As finals begin and faculty start entering final grades for spring 2020, please refer to the following checklist for end of semester tasks for your courses in D2L Brightspace.
Release Final Grades to Your Students
You have the option to either enter grades manually or pull grades from your course in D2L Brightspace directly into ISRS.
Refer to the “End of Semester Tasks” tutorial (https://www.mnstate.edu/uploadedFiles/Level_2/Content/Instructional_Technology_Services/Desire2Learn/EndofSemesterTasks.pdf) for step-by-step instructions on this and other suggested tasks to complete for spring semester wrap up.
Extend Course End Date for Students
For most courses, student access will end automatically at 11:59 p.m. on May 31. If you release the final grade or post final remarks after that date, students will not have access to the information unless you change the End Date. Refer to the Course Start and/or End Date tutorial (https://www.mnstate.edu/uploadedFiles/Level_2/Content/Instructional_Technology_Services/Desire2Learn/CourseStartEndDate.pdf) for step-by-step instructions.
Enter Final Grades into ISRS
Final grades are due by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, May 15, on eServices (https://www.mnstate.edu/eservices/).
Refer to the MinnState Faculty Member Documentation page (https://mnscu.sharepoint.com/sites/isrsproducts/SitePages/Topics.aspx?Topic=Faculty%20Application) for information on how to complete Grade Entry & LDA (Last Day Attended). Log in using your StarID and password using the format StarID@minnstate.edu for the username.
