Incentive Program

Any online CSAS Learning & Writing Support Workshop can count toward the Incentive Program. However, your instructor will indicate the number of workshops you need to attend and any additional specifications you will need to receive your incentive marks. Please ensure that you meet your specific course requirements for workshop attendance. For instance, your instructor might specify that only certain workshop topics count for incentive in that course. This information can typically be found in your course syllabus.

You must complete the workshops in the same term in which the course is registered for the Incentive Program. For example, if a course is registered for the Incentive Program for the Fall 2023 term, the workshops must be completed within the Fall 2023 term as well. Please check your syllabus for course-specific deadlines.

1. There are 19 online CSAS Learning & Writing Workshops available through Brightspace that qualify for the Incentive Program. The workshops must be completed in the same term as the course that is registered for the Incentive Program.
2. You must complete each workshop component and receive a grade of 100% on the final assessment. If you achieve a score below 100%, please complete the assessment again until you receive a grade of 100%. Students have eight (8) attempts to complete the final assessment successfully.
3. After getting 100% on the final assessment, you will receive a Record of Completion award. You will receive a pop-up notification in Brightspace to indicate you have received the Record of Completion award.  Please note, this may take up to 20 minutes to appear. If after 20 minutes you still cannot view the award, try logging out and back in again. You will need this record of completion to submit to your instructor. Please see the Attendance tab below.

Please note that CSAS Learning and Writing Webinars (via MS Teams) and in-person workshops DO NOT count toward the Incentive Program.

If your course is a part of the Incentive Program, you will need to submit a Record of Completion (ROC) award so that your instructor can capture your attendance. Students will receive a ROC award after achieving 100% on the final assessment of the applicable workshop. You will need to download and submit the PDF to your instructor to receive course incentive.
