Changes to the Effort Reporting Policy

At the discretion of the department, an appropriate proxy may now be assigned for undergraduate students, regardless of employment status in ConnectCarolina. Our team will be sending a list of undergraduate students with effort statements to each department within the next couple weeks. This list may not be comprehensive, so if you identify other undergraduate students in your department that you would like to assign a proxy, please send the student’s name/PID along with the proxy name/PID to ecrt_help@unc.edu.

ecrt Training Classes for New Effort Coordinators

For those new to ecrt or wishing to brush up on the effort certification process, the Effort Reporting team will be offering two identical ecrt training sessions this month. The same material will be presented at each session so please choose the session that will be most convenient for you. In order to register for one of these training sessions, please email ecrt_help@unc.edu with the date you would like to attend.

Tuesday, August 15
3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Health Sciences Library – Room 307
Thursday, August 17, 2017
10:00 am – 11:00 am

The training will include an overview of the frequently used screens in ecrt; review some common pitfalls and best practices for the effort certification process; and discuss recent policy changes and the timeline for the Fall 2017 effort certification period. We look forward to seeing you there.
