Introduction

All first year Georgian College students are enrolled in the Academic Integrity Module (AIM). The AIM report is generated to identify the course completion status of students enrolled in the module. The AIM report records the outcome of the students' participation and might be referenced in the future when investigating a possibility of an act of alleged academic misconduct.

The AIM Course Report template is updated every day before 12PM until May 23, 2025. If you require an updated report before the spreadsheet is refreshed (as referenced in the schedule above) please send an email to FacultyBBSupport@GeorgianCollege.ca.

NOTE: You must access the online AIM Course Report Template each time you want to review the Course Completion Status. If you have a previously downloaded copy saved to your device it will not contain the most current student data.

The AIM report available in Tools ~ My Reports in base navigation in Blackboard was built to function with Blackboard Original courses and is not compatible with Ultra courses resulting in the requirement to complete the process below when retrieving student status results for Ultra courses.
