Resigns, Withdrawals and Drops
Students who Have Resigned, Withdrawn or Dropped a Course
Brightspace handles resigns, withdrawals and drops differently than Blackboard. Students who resign, withdraw or drop a course are removed from the Classlist and the Grades tool but added to the Enrollment Statistics page. Instructors can view basic grade and attendance information about the students from the Enrollment Statistics page (see next section) or restore students to the Classlist for full access to the student’s interactions in the course.
Viewing Basic Grade and Attendance Information for Resigns, Withdrawals and Drops
On the navbar, click Classlist.
Click Enrollment Statistics.
Scroll down to the Withdrawals section.
Click the chevron next to a student’s name and select View Attendance or View Grades.
Restoring a Student who Has Resigned, Withdrawn or Dropped a Course
Instructors can restore a student who has resigned, withdrawn or dropped a course to see all the student’s grades and other interactions. A restored student can be assigned the Student role, which allows full access to the course, or the Resign or Withdrawal role, which prevents the student from accessing course content, including assessments. A student with the Resign or Withdrawal role will see the course tile in the My Courses widget.
To restore a student, simply enroll the student in the course by following the Enrolling Users in a Course directions above.
