Enrollment Verification Assignment (EVA)

What is an Enrollment Verification Assignment (EVA)?

In accordance to the Code of Federal Regulations §668.22 Treatment of title IV funds when a student withdraws and the State Board of Community Colleges Code 1G SBCCC 200.93 Reporting of Student Hours In Membership for Curriculum Classes, students enrolled in online courses – i.e. non-seated and non-hybrid – are required to verify their enrollment by completing an assignment on or before the census date for a course (10% point). CVCC refers to this specific assignment as the Enrollment Verification Assignment, or EVA for short.

To increase the efficiency and consistency across all internet-assisted courses, CVCC has created the Enrollment Verification Assignment (EVA). Replacing both the Mandatory Course Entry Quiz (MCEQ) and the First Day of Class Quiz (FDoCQ), the EVA contains five questions that will be used across all internet-assisted courses for attendance.

Students MUST complete the assignment on or before the census date. Students are not allowed to enter the course – i.e. be given a “P” in Self Service Attendance (the new “E”) – after the census date has occurred. This is a STATE policy. Students should not be allowed to take the EVA after the census date has passed.

Please make sure you set the end date for the EVA on the census date at 11:59 PM in Blackboard to prevent students from attempting to enter after the census date. Instructors will need to change and set the due date for the EVA based on the census date – this will not be automatically set and will need to be done by all instructors in all of their courses. The EVA should NOT be available to students before the first day of class. The assignment should only be available from the first day of class until the census date at midnight.

Please be sure that there is only one copy of the Enrollment Verification Assignment in the course (multiple copies can exist after a course copy). If multiple copies exist, please delete one so that there is only one Enrollment Verification Assignment and one-grade center column for this assignment. Please delete any MCEQ or FDoCQ’s that may still exist in your course. There should be one copy of the EVA only.

Locating the Census Date (10% Point)

You can locate your course’s Census Date by doing the following.

  1. Login to the CVCC Portal at my.cvcc.edu.
  2. In the Self-Service Menu, click on Faculty to expand the menu, then click on Faculty Information.
  3. Click on Class Roster from the drop-down menu.
  4. In the Class Roster Select Section tab, click on the Section Name and Title for which you wish to locate the census date.
  5. The Census Date will be located in the third column of the Class Roster tab.

Getting an EVA

The EVA will automatically be added and made available to students in the Coursework section of all internet-assisted courses.

Enrollment Verification Assignment Attempt Statistics

After the Census Date for your course has passed, you must submit a record of your EVA Attempt Statistics to the FTE Technician. The following steps outline how to generate the attempt statistics in Blackboard.

  1. In your Blackboard course, under the Control Panel, click on the arrow to the right of the words Grade Center.
  2. Go to the Enrollment Verification Assignment Column. Click on the down arrow to the right of the column name.
  3. Select View All Attempts.
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Show All.
  5. Verify that the columns are sorted correctly, with the last name alphabetically sorted. Do this by clicking on the Last Name column. A small triangle should appear to indicate that the sorting is by last name.
  6. Now press, at the same time, control+P on your keyboard to print the page. If you’re on a computer running macOS, then you will need to press command+P to print the page.

If you are submitting your attempt statistics via interoffice mail, then select the printer you wish to print to and address the interoffice envelope to Anna Fredell, FTE Technician.

If you are submitting your attempt statistics via email, then from the printer list, select Save as PDF and email the PDF to Anna Fredell at .
