    • Check the points possible in the old links i.e. Edit the link
    • Check the Grading Schema used in the old links for the column in Grade Centre i.e. Edit Column Information and check the Primary Display.
    • Recreate the links - ensure you select Yes for Evaluation.

Course staff accounts

Transferring assessment

  • Course coordinators have access to transfer work to different staff members for marking. i.e. Assessment is setup with pools so the work is automatically allocated to one person to mark.

Refer to the Transferring submitted assignments to other staff for marking guide.

Alumni Access Information

At the end of your program post an announcement to your students and provide them with details on how to retain access to their ePortfolio after graduation. Refer your students to the ePortfolio access after Graduation guide for further information. An example of the announcement can be found below:

Good morning All,

At the completion of your Master of Applied Linguistics program, your ePortfolio account will transition to that of an alumni account. To retain access to your ePortfolio you will need to complete the steps in the ePortfolio access after Graduation guide. The steps in this guide should only be completed upon your official completion of the Master of Applied Linguistics. If you intend to complete any further studies at UQ in another discipline, you are not required to complete this process at this time.
