About Finalizing a Session

Finalizing a session sends the account's selected Course Completion email template to learners who completed the course and prevents further editing of the session's information. It also allows you to send learners who were enrolled but did not attend the course the account's selected Missed Attendance email template

  • If the session has a post-course evaluation, be sure to give learners enough time to submit the form. Once the session is finalized, the session's post-course evaluation will no longer be available to learners.
  • Be sure that you do not need to make any other updates to the session before you finalize it. After the session is finalized, you'll only be able to add learners, remove learners, and edit information associated with a learner's enrollment. Refer to Editing a Session for details. 
  • If you are finalizing a WebEx session, be sure each learner's attendance, completion status, and if applicable, grade are recorded BEFORE finalizing the session. This information is automatically sent from WebEx to SmarterU, but it may take up to 24 hours for the process to complete. If you finalize a WebEx session without the learners' attendance, completion status, or grade, there is no way to enter that information after the session is finalized.
