How to Drop a Student: Multi Purpose Roster

When you have a student on your roster who does not show up the first week of classes, or when you have a student who stops attending, you can use the Multi Purpose Roster to drop the student. For more on attendance and drop policies at DVC, please see Attendance Policy Links to an external site.. Once you’ve logged into the Classes tile through InSite, you will find this menu by clicking on the correct section, clicking the Grading tab, then clicking the Final Grades tab. This is the same place you will submit grades. For detailed instructions, follow along below.

Login to InSite.
Once logged in, click on the "Classes" tile.
Click the Multi-Purpose Roster tile option.
Click on the section you wish to drop a student from.
The default view is your class roster.
To drop a student, click the “Grading” tab (between “Roster” and “Permissions”). The default view is set to “Overview,” which is a snapshot of your roster.
To get to the screen to make changes, click “Final Grade”.
This will give you a menu with the options to enter information under “Never Attended,” “Last Date of Attendance,” “Final Grade,” and “Expiration Date".
For any student that did not show up on the first day of class, and that you wish to drop, check the box under “Never Attended.”
For any student that has stopped attending your class, and that you wish to drop, enter the last date of attendance under “Last Date of Attendance.” InSite will pull out your students with a last date of attendance several times a day to “drop” students from your roster (if a student has not been dropped after 24 hours, please contact your registrar).
Please note: you can see important dates, like the last day to drop without a W, by clicking “Deadline Dates” from the class overview menu.
The system saves your information automatically. For future terms, you will be able to submit Census rosters here. During the Spring 2019 semester, please keep an eye out for paper Census rosters.
