Linking the new CSLO to a locked shared assessment
New CSLOs must be linked to the desired assessments. If the assessment has already been
created but is “locked” (scores exist), a copy of the assessment must be created and then the
new CSLO must be linked to it. The new copy of the assessment will then appear for faculty to
score.
1. Log into eLumen
a. Click the Coordinator Tab.
b. Click Define Assessments.
c. Click Details next to the assessment package for your course discipline...
The Shared Assessment Package screen is displayed as shown below...
• If the shared assessment is *Locked*, click the blue arrow icon to create a copy of the
assessment.
• If the shared assessment not locked, go to step 12 below: Linking CSLOs to an
unlocked assessment.
Note: Locked assessments mean that scores have been added to that assessment at the coursesection level and to ensure data integrity, changes cannot be made to that assessment.

2. Click the blue arrow next to the locked assessment that you want to work with.
The copy of the Shared Assessment will appear, usually at the bottom of the list of shared
assessments.
3. Click the pencil icon if you want to edit the assessment type (change direct scoring to
declared scoring or edit the name, removing the word “Copy” or adding an academic term to
distinguish this from the earlier version).
4.
5. On the new screen:
a. Edit the Assessment Name so that it has the format “Course Number – Date”. The
Course Number should be exactly what appears in the catalogue. For Example
“CHEM 12A – 4/30/13”. (Do not use titles like “Chemistry 12A – Spring”, “Org Chem
– April 2013,” “CH12 – 2013”) This is important for reference. Note: We are no
longer using “Multiple Assessments Use…”
b. Select Declared from the drop down menu
c. Click Save.

6. On the list of course assessment packages, you MUST now reorder this list and hide the
previous version (the locked one). Select “Adjust Sequence”
7. From this list find the LOCKED Assessment. It will be in numerical order at the
top of the list. Record its ordinal number. In this example, MTH 6 has position #7.
8. Replace this number with 999.
9. Scroll down to find the new assessment package.
10. Enter in the ordinal number found in step 7. Click “Save”

“Toggle” in the last column to ensure that it says “No”. This will hide the old
package.
