3.8.3 Uniform Online Course Roll Verification Procedure (Undergraduate Courses only)

Summary

Online courses, (Undergraduate courses only) will use a Mandatory Attendance Quiz AND an Introduction Discussion Post (Login Required) as the standard roll verification instrument for all online courses.

Justification

The purpose of the roll verification activities is to prevent future problems associated with tuition refunds, federal financial aid relative to Title IV refunding rules, and issuance of grades of "NR" (not reported), "W", "WF" or "F" for students who never attended online class. When there is one uniform method used to complete attendance verification, we can provide more clear instructions that are consistent and correct across all online courses.

Methodology

The Mandatory Attendance Quiz AND Introduction Discussion Post (Login Required) will be due 72 hours after the end of the Add/Drop period (typically the Wednesday of the week following add/drop).

A uniform due date allows last-minute enrolled students to complete the activities.
This allows instructors to perform roll verification before the roll verification deadline.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.
