\nKnow when to certify<\/summary>\n

The great majority of classes offered across the system will follow the same faculty certification period. However, shorter classes, or those that have special start or end dates, may open up for faculty certification earlier or later and allow for less days for faculty certification. Certification usually begins immediately after the last day that students can register for the class. Since the window for certification may then vary by class, these <\/span>dates display above each of your class rosters. The buttons to mark students’ participation status and certify that class will only be accessible during these dates. \"Certification <\/span><\/p>\n<\/details>\n
