Hawkes Learning Course Settings

Removing LMS Associations for Hawkes sections that have concluded

In your Hawkes Course, go to:

  • Tools > Manage Sections
  • Select your section(s)
  • Click Actions in the top-right, and Remove LMS Links

Create New Sections Each Term

Create a new Hawkes section to link to the corresponding LMS section.

Disable Section Transferring

Enrollment or transferring occurs when students click on the Hawkes Single Sign On link in the LMS course. If a student accidentally clicks on the Hawkes Single Sign On link from an old LMS course that's still linked, they may get transferred back to that old section in Hawkes. To prevent this, disable transferring in your Hawkes Course.

In your Hawkes Course, go to:

  • Tools > Display Options
  • Select "Student cannot transfer themselves at all"
    • Do not select "students can transfer after section end date".

Require Students to use their .edu Email Address (Course Administrator only setting)

This helps ensure if a student creates their Hawkes account outside of Single Sign On, they're creating their account using their school email address. This setting can be enabled for the entire Course and all instructors by a Course Administrator.

In your Hawkes Course as a Course Administrator, go to:

  • Tools > Display Options
  • Select the option Students must use their .edu email addresses when creating their Hawkes account (applies to the entire CourseID)

Inclusive Access Student Drops or Opt-outs

If a student needs to be dropped from the course or chooses to opt-out of the Inclusive Access and is not sure how, the school's bookstore or registrar's office can assist the student. 

If a student is reported as dropped or opted-out, they are not charged in their tuition and this is reported back to Hawkes by the school's bookstore or the Inclusive Access vendor the school uses.
