Preserve Student’s Past Work and Grades:

Once you have identified that a student is likely taking an Incomplete, you can work ahead to make the situation easy and stress-free:

• Preserve your Blackboard Gradebook by exporting and saving as an excel file (Work Offline).

• If you know your student is taking an Incomplete during this transition, download submitted assignments from the Blackboard Grade Center and save them to your computer or your Boise State Google Drive. This way if there are any questions about the student’s work or grades later, all the information is easily available.
