D2L is provided to all faculty to use for the purpose of recording grades electronically. The following criteria must be satisfied by all faculty.

  • The section syllabus must clearly inform students how to access and interpret the grades, scores, and marks posted in the gradebook. Interpretation of scores, grades, or other marks listed in a gradebook requires knowledge of the individual course syllabus, especially during mid-semester.
  • Whenever practicable, results for graded items prior to course completion should be posted electronically within 48 hours after the Instructor has completed the grading process for the items, and final grades for the course should be entered no later than the specified grading day.
  • Results for all graded items in all sections will be electronically accessible to students 24/7 during the semester on a secure site where they are not accessible to other students or the general public.
  • In addition to being accessible to the student and the grading Instructor, the graded items posted in the gradebook must be accessible to designated LCC personnel so that continuity can be maintained if, for any reason, the faculty member is not able to serve as Instructor of the section for the entire duration of the course.

Faculty should work with their direct supervisors to ensure that the above criteria are met. The goal is to provide timely and meaningful feedback to students on their progress. Nothing in this procedure/process is to be interpreted as saying that feedback can only be provided by graded items.
