Student Learning & Licensure Release Notes for July 16, 2024

Placement coordinators will have the ability to keep draft placements hidden from students

With this release, placement coordinators will have the ability to draft placements before releasing them to students in New Placement Management.

Placement statuses have been introduced and will control visibility of the placement:

1. Not Started:
   1. When a student is enrolled in an internship enabled course section, the placement will be displayed with a “Not Started” status until placement information is assigned.
2. Draft:
   1. Once placement details have been added, the status will switch to “Draft”. This will save the placement information but the placement will not be visible to the student or any assigned mentor.
3. Scheduled:
   1. Allows placement coordinators to schedule the release of placements for a future date and time.
4. Published:
   1. When a placement coordinator publishes a placement, either via “Publish Now” or “Schedule”, then the placements will be visible to students and mentors, with activities sent out.

These statuses will be visible in the placement dashboard table and additional filters have been added to allow sorting by Status, Organization, Course Code, Section Name, and Terms.

NOTES:

1. All the existing placements will be displayed with Published status.
2. Published placements still be deleted but they cannot be reverted back to Draft.
3. Currently, bulk status updates can be managed through the placement import

Coming soon: Bulk status changes via the placement dashboard!

NOTE: If you are not seeing these updates in Placement Management please log out of SL&L, clear the cache in your web browser, then log back in
