Couch Courses Grading Policy

Couch Courses Instructor’s grading timeline:

Instructors will grade all coursework within the first two weeks of each month. Once all work has been reviewed and graded, students with a 70% average and higher will receive their Couch Courses certificate of completion. The certificate will be dated as of the day on which the feedback survey was completed.

The final grade and pass/fail status will be uploaded to the Florida State Fire College FCDICE registry on the roster that closes at the end of the month in which the feedback survey was completed. All FCDICE class rosters close on the last day of the month and post on the first day of the month.

Example: A student finishes all classwork and the feedback survey on June 26^th. The coursework will be graded within the first two weeks of the following month. If this occurs on July 7^th, the student’s Couch Courses certificate of completion will be dated as June 26^th, the date when it was completed. The FCDICE registry credit will be credited on the roster closing on June 30^th and will post as soon as all grading is complete.

Couch Courses Instructor’s grading timeline:

All courses rosters are reported to Florida State Fire College (FCDICE) on the last day of the month. Students who complete their course feedback survey before 11:59:59pm on the last day of the month will have their credit posted to the FCDICE registry on the month’s roster in which they have completed. Download of the Couch Courses certificate will be available upon completion of the feedback survey and final grading.

Couch Courses staff have up to 15 days to grade all course work from the time of completion. The Couch Courses certificate of completion and FCDICE registry processing will reflect the time and date of completion of the feedback survey.

In some cases, the course feedback survey might be completed on the last day of the month but the grading wont occur until after the first of the month. In these cases, the students credit will post to FCDICE after the first of the month but will reflect completion from the previous month.

Courses finished after 00:01am on the first of the month will be posted to the FCDICE registry on the last day of that month.
