Navigating the Course Manager
Under ‘Manage Courses’, you can connect study credits to students and ensure they’re sent to the faculty at the semester’s end.
Add a Semester
- Log in and click on your name in the top right corner and select ‘Manage Courses’ from the drop-down list.

- Enter the semester details and click ‘Confirm’.
- Remember, a course must be added to a new semester for the semester to be saved in the system.
Add a Course
- Select the relevant semester from the dropdown.
- Click ‘Add Course’.
- Fill in the course details, then click the check mark to add, or the X to delete and start over.
Download Redemption Records
Downloading redemption records provides an easy way to access and review student participation throughout the semester. Log in, click on ‘Manage Courses’, select the correct semester, and then click ‘ Download redemption records for this semester’ to receive the .csv file for those courses.
Instructors can easily access updated participation records in scenarios like course audits or grade concerns. This assists in grading and keeps students well-informed about their progress.
