Instructions for Viewing Your Tier Reports

1. Access the Distance Education Website Faculty & Staff page, or the Faculty Resources tab inside Blackboard.



2. Under Faculty Quick Links, click the View My Tier Reports link.



3. Login to the view using your BLACKBOARD username and password.



4. Students are listed in alphabetical order within each course. Courses are separated by start date with the most recent at the top. Only students in your own courses who have been designated at tier levels 1-4 will be listed.



5. Use the search to locate students by name, tier level, or course start date.



6. Clicking the student's name will open an email addressed to the student.



7. Clicking the student's datatel ID will drill down to more details:
   • student name, datatel ID, tier level, and email, and if available, home phone and cell phone
   • cumulative GPA, first term in college, term transferred to CTC (if applicable), and most recent term enrolled
   • history of all CTC online courses in which the student has enrolled including Course, Title, Course Dates, Term, Grade, Term GPA, and Enrollment Status
   • listing of any placement tests this student has taken with date and score (links to the Math, Reading, and Writing test score matrices are provided)


8. Hover over the tier level to read its definition.



9. In the New Student column, "new" designates this is the student's first term in college; "new trans" designates this is the student's first term upon transferring to CTC.



10. Click the View/Add comments button to read all comments entered or to add more. The date and time of the most recent comment is displayed, and the user who entered the comment (user "retention" is the CTC Program Mentor). The instructor and the CTC Program Mentor (Clara Evans) may view and add the comments. Information entered by faculty on the student's progress with the coursework is helpful in the comments area, since the Program Mentor does not have access to the gradebooks.
