Auditors may randomly select courses and/or student to ensure that both faculty and students are actively participating online. Students who receive financial aid are held accountable to state and federal auditing procedures. Eligibility for student aid is contingent upon the student's class attendance/participation. To remain compliant with federal and state financial aid regulations, faculty must report students who stop attending class or stop participating to the Financial Aid office. BRCC uses the Attendance Tracking system within myBlueRidge to document student attendance.
