Role for student with Incomplete grade

At the end of terms we often have students that need course access after the established end date in order to complete work fir their grade of 'Incomplete'. Currently we adjust the course availability date then manually turn off all students without a grade of incomplete. In rare instances we will have students in the same class with different deadlines for the submission of remaining course assignments.

When a student receives an incomplete, it would be helpful if faculty could change the student to an incomplete role allowing the student access to the course after the end date and establishing a new end date for that student.

Basically, a user based adaptive release on the whole course.

Yes, this would be wonderful, and has come up from my users as well. The issue is, when SIS is governing course availability, things get complicated. If this idea could be supported in Blackboard AND be made a part of sis, that would be great.

Something like this would be fantastic. We do this with course merges (I posted an idea earlier today along these lines.) Were we need the ability for child courses to have a separate end date than the parent for incomplete type merges.

Yes! It would be awesome if it could also be done from an instructor level.

A kludge would be to make basically a sandbox course for the student and clone the course material into the sandbox. With only the incomplete student enrolled, you could run it from there without having to turn off access for everyone else. Might not be faster for a small course, but for a 200+ lecture course, I'd rather clone a spin-off.

  That is currently exactly what we do. At the moment our faculty dislike this as it is a change from the way we used to handle things. They want the student in the current course. As an admin however I want a way to mark them as an incomplete.

Having an incomplete role allowing the student access to the course after the end date and establishing a new end date for that student would be a huge time saver. I hope to see a fix for this in Learn and Ultra.
