What happens in my WebCT GOLD course shell when a student drops my class?
The student is made inactive and un-enrolled but their information is still displayed in the WebCT GOLD Grade Book in Red. We do it this way to retain the students work to date so that if the student later is added back into the course, no work is lost. This approach is needed when, for example, a student is administratively dropped due to lack of payment, perhaps because of a delay in financial aid, and then the students fees are paid a day or two later when the financial aid award arrives. The student is then reinstated in the class, and none of the students work is lost. If you do not wish to see inactive students in your Grade Book, use the Grade Book Options and select Hide Unenrolled Member Data.
