Entering Midterm Verification in an Original Course with the Academic Records Integration LTI

After you receive the email letting you know it is time to enter your Midterm Verification, you can proceed to Blackboard. Do not enter verification information before this time because it will not be saved.

The purpose of Midterm Enrollment Verification is to:

1. Determine the funding that the College will be eligible to receive from the State of Illinois for the number of students in attendance at midterm
2. Notify students that are not attending/participating and need to take some form of action or to notify them that they have been officially withdrawn
3. Establish continued eligibility for financial aid funding for the semester.

Note: For Undergrad and Adult Education courses, Midterm Verifications must be entered before Final Grades can be entered. The Academic Records Integration tool will prevent you from entering Final Grades if Midterm Verifications have not been entered.

Midterm verifications will now be completed within Blackboard Ultra course sections using the Academic Records Integration LTI tool.

To access the Academic Records Integration LTI tool, enter your Blackboard course section:

1. Under Course Management, select Course Tools
2. Select the Academic Records Integration LTI tool from the list of available tools.
   
   
   
   
3. Navigate to the Midterm Ver. (Y-N-W) tab of the tool.
   
   
   
   
4. The cells will auto-populate with values that must be cleared out before your verifications can be entered and submitted. To clear out these values, click the Clear button at the bottom of the screen.
   
   
   
   Dropped students appear as "Unavailable" in the tool, and verification statuses and grades do not need to be entered for dropped students.
   
   
5. Enter the midterm verification statuses accordingly.

For each currently registered student on your roster, enter a verification status in answer to the following questions:

• Face-to-Face: Is each student regularly attending?

• Online: Is each student regularly completing educational activities?

• Hybrid: is each student regularly attending and/or completing educational activities?

For each enrolled student on your roster, enter a verification status in answer to the above questions. (Do NOT enter an LDA for any student currently enrolled, while entering a status of Y or N.)

• • Y = Yes
  • N = No
  • W = No and withdraw from course

If a student has already dropped/withdrawn before the Midterm Date, a status of Y, N, or W should not be entered. Instead, you need to enter an LDA (Last Date of Attendance) or check the Never Attended box.

NOTE: Dropped students appear as "Unavailable" in the tool.

If a student has dropped/withdrawn after the Midterm Date, a status of Y, N, or W should be entered and you should enter an LDA (Last Date of Attendance). Please contact the Grades Department if you need to record a verification for a dropped student.

For each student assigned a W, enter the last date of attendance, or check never attended.

NOTE: The student will not be withdrawn from the course if you only check the Never Attended box. For a student to be withdrawn from the course, a W must be entered in the Midterm Verification column.

Click Submit to save the midterm verification.

A green status bar will display at the top of the screen, confirming that the verification information has been submitted.
