Exciting changes are coming to iCollege course access and enrollments starting Fall 2024. These updates aim to streamline student access and enhance course management for faculty, addressing common issues and aligning with FERPA standards. Key improvements include the removal of the “Is Active” checkbox and automated instructor unenrollments, ensuring a smoother start to the semester and better protection of student information. For more information, read below.
'Is Active' Checkbox Removal
Beginning Fall 2024, faculty wishing to set the date by which students may access their course may do so by adjusting “Start Date” from the Course Offering Information page in iCollege. Adding a Start Date will restrict student access to the course until that Start Date. This change allows students to see the course listed within iCollege which will reduce confusion, especially during the stressful start of semester. Detailed instructions on how to modify your course’s start date can be found in our Set a Course Start Date and End Date in iCollege knowledge base article.
Automated Instructor Unenrollments
To mitigate the impact of this change, we recommend developing or backing up course content in a building section. By using a building section, faculty who lose access to a Banner-generated iCollege course will maintain access to a copy of their course content. A new Building Section can be requested using this form.
