Federal Program Review - Deadline of February 17
As a result of a US Department of Education Federal Program Review of EMU this past fall, faculty and lecturers may be asked to verify a small number of students' attendance from the past few semesters. If this applies to you, you will receive a spreadsheet with individual student names to look up. All that is required is to enter a "Y" for Yes if the student did attend the course, or "N" for No if the student did not. In most cases the spreadsheets only have one or two names. Many instructors will not receive spreadsheets as only certain student groups are being tracked; however if you do receive one, we very much appreciate the extra effort required to complete and return by the deadline. Spreadsheets should be sent to [email protected].
