Five Things to End the Spring 2022 Semester
As you prepare for finals next week and plan ahead for the end of the 2021-2022 academic year, we have compiled a list of five things we wanted you to know - with resources! - before we wrap up the year:

  1. Grades are due on May 17: Grades are due by 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday, May 17. If you need help or a review on how to submit grades, review our ISU AdminTools page for grade submission.
  2. Prepare your Canvas course for course conclusion: Your Spring 2022 Canvas Course will be concluded in January 2023. Review Course Conclusion in Canvas to ensure you're prepared ahead of time.
  3. Manage incomplete students: You can follow these steps or watch the video to help guide you through managing any incomplete students in your Canvas course.
  4. New Quizzes will be available soon: Canvas New Quizzes will be available for the entire ISU campus on June 1. There are several upcoming training opportunities. If you'd like CELT to visit your department for a department-specific demonstration or training, please fill out this Qualtrics form and we will reach out to schedule that training.
  5. CELT summer hours begin May 16: CELT will remain open this summer, with modified summer hours. You can find us in 3024 Morrill from 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m. all summer. You can also email [email protected] or call (515) 294-5357. Normal hours of operation will resume on August 15.

For those who are teaching during the summer session or getting a headstart on future courses, you can always access our Start of Semester checklist.

Best wishes on the end of the semester!
Canvas New Quizzes: Training Begins
Canvas New Quizzes training will begin on May 18. All scheduled training has an online option or you can join us in 2030 Morrill.

Visit the Canvas New Quizzes website for all registration information and to request a sandbox to get started with New Quizzes early! The sandbox training will take place before NQ is implemented campus-wide on June 1 and all instructors who attend will need to have a sandbox course before attending. The general training sessions take place after NQ is implemented campus-wide.
