The course alignment initiative at Fayetteville Technical Community College is in full swing! These notes provide more clarification on the process, expectations, and feedback cycle [Download pdf]. Please contact the Center for Faculty Development with questions! 

IMPORTANT NOTES: 

• After a course map is submitted, feedback will typically be provided by the Center for Faculty Development within 3-5 business days.   
• Sometimes, the Center may ask clarifying questions and/or request that the course map is modified and resubmitted to receive further review.  
• Assignment “grades” are either 0 or 100. If resubmission is required, the grade will remain a 0 until all requirements have been met and feedback has been noticeably implemented.   
• Once the course map is given a grade of 100, the assignment notes will indicate the course map has then been approved and is ready to transition to Blackboard Ultra.
