FAQ
Why can’t I click Manage for an outcome?
Once the associated Program Assessment has been completed, Manage will be unavailable, and assignment linking for the Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) can no longer be performed. To perform assignment linking, the Program Assessment must be reopened via the Assessment Homepage Actions menu. When reopening assessments, a new end date for the assessment must be defined.
