ACCESSING CLASS LISTS FROM THE WEB

 

PREFERRED METHOD:

 

From the Faculty Dashboard channel on the My Courses tab:

 

  Click on the classlist icon just to the right of the course title.

 

  On the class roster that appears, click on the student's name for additional information about the student.

 

 

ALTERNATIVE METHOD:

 

From the Faculty and Advisors menu on Broncho Central Services

 

  Select a term. There is a pull down menu that will allow you to select the term.

 

  Click on Submit Term at the bottom of this screen.   This will take you to a menu screen.

 

  Then click on Select CRN screen

 

  Select desired class from the list of courses you are teaching

 

  Click on Submit CRN

 

  From the menu of options, you can select either:  Detailed class list  or  summary class list.

 

 

The summary class list shows the students’ ID numbers and one line of information per student.

 

The detailed class list does not show the students’ ID but has four lines of information.

 

On the detailed class list, the enrollment status and method (web registered or registered in person) and the date of registration appear.

 

Neither class list shows a student address; however, a student’s  address can be viewed by clicking on the student’s name. It will take you to a screen to view the mailing address if you select it.  

 

After viewing the desired information, click BACK to return to the prior screen that shows the list of students.

 

The names of students on both the summary and detailed class lists appear in alphabetical order.

On the detailed class list, you will also see a sequence number for each student that represents the order in which that student enrolled in your class.

 

During the “no record” drop period, students that drop your course will simply disappear from the list. After that, students who drop or withdraw will have a “W”, ”DV”, or “AW” in the REG  field on the summary class list and “Withdrawn” and the date on the detailed class list.

 

View your class list(s) frequently to keep up with adds and withdrawals from your class(es).

 

Please check for students attending your class who are not on the list(s).   Any such students should be sent to Undergraduate Admissions, University Center 124. 

 

DO NOT ALLOW STUDENTS TO REMAIN IN YOUR CLASS IF THE STUDENT DOES NOT APPEAR ON YOUR CLASS LIST(S).

 

ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWALS:   From September 4 to November 4, 2007 faculty may assign students an administrative withdrawal for a regular fall course if they have never attended class but are still listed as officially enrolled.

PREFERRED METHOD.

 

On the My Courses tab:

 

  Courses available for Final or Midterm grading will appear on the Faculty Grade Assignment channel. 

  Make sure the "Final Grades" text appears in the dialog box below  the list of courses.  

  (You may have to choose it by click on the drop down arrow.   Make sure you click on the
  "Go" button after changing the value).

 

  Then click on the grade submission icon -  gradeicon  or http://www.registrar.ucok.edu/enroll/Final_1.gif  for the course you wish to submit grades.

  This will pull up the final grades worksheet.

  ** Please note:  DO NOT click on the course title in the Faculty Grade Assignment channel.   Doing so will pull up a list
 of all the courses with the same subject code and course number.    This is confusing, and appears that you would be submitting grades for the wrong course.     This is not true.    Clicking on the icons above will access the correct final grades worksheet.

 

Your grades have been successfully submitted.   To verify this use the Alternative Method below to view the final grade roster and see your grades.   Or call Paul Patrick at 974-2336.

 

ALTERNATIVE METHOD.

 

From the Faculty and Advisors menu on Broncho Central Services,  click on Final Grades (near the bottom).

 

  On the Select Term screen, select desired term from the pull down menu.

 

  Click on Submit Term.

 

  On the Select CRN screen

 

  Select desired class from the list of courses you are teaching

 

  Click on Submit CRN

 

For either method:

 

A list of names enrolled in your class will appear.

 

The sixth column is the grading column for data entry.

 

Click on the arrow of the pull down menu and select the appropriate grade for each student. Normal grades are A, B, C, D, F, I.

 

Exceptions are:

P/E Activity Courses                        P, U or I grades

Workshops (3000 & 5000)                P, F or I grades

Student Teaching                            P, F or I grades

Graduate Thesis (5990)                    P, F or X grades

Audits                                             AUD (successfully audited) or AU (did not successfully audit, e.g., did not attend or did not participate)

 

Audits: At this time, nothing you can see on the WEB indicates the Audit enrollment status of a student except for the grade choices available on the grade drop down box of the final grades worksheet.   Contact Enrollment Services at 974-2336, 974-2335 or 974-2569 to confirm a student’s audit enrollment status.

 

*IMPORTANT*       The Banner system will restrict the grades available from the drop down list to those set up as appropriate to the class. If you think the grades available are a mistake, please contact Sue Ryan in Academic Affairs, ext. 2542, or Paul Patrick in Enrollment Services, ext. 2336, before entering or submitting your grades.

 

W grades may not be given unless the student officially withdrew from the course and the withdrawn status is marked under the Registration Status/Date.  In these cases, you cannot enter a grade.                                                        

                                                                         

Move to the next person and repeat the process.

 

While entering grades,  save your work often by clicking on “Submit Grades” at the bottom of the class list.   This not only ensures that your work is saved but keeps your web session active.

 

The "Last Attend Date" and "Attend Hours" fields now work correctly, and we are now asking that you enter a date of last attendance when turning in a grade of F for a student who never attended or stopped attending.   If the student never attended, you can put a 0 in the "Attend Hours" field, if you prefer, instead of a date of last attendance.

 

When you enter a date of last attendance for a student who is still enrolled, you'll see the information message below show up on the top of the page. This isn't an error, and you should still be able to submit the date.


" Student has not withdrawn from the class."

 

If you enter a grade or more than one grade and fail to click on submit grades, then the grade information will never be entered into the system.  This has become increasingly more of a problem for faculty by some grades going unrecorded for their students.

Every student must be assigned a grade.

 

If you don’t click on submit grades button within ten minutes, you will be timed out.

 

You don’t have to enter all your grades in one session.   In the column titled “rolled” as long as there is a NO in the column, you can continue to enter or change that grade on line.   Once a YES appears in that column, it means the grade has been posted to the student’s transcript and it cannot be changed except through the grade change process.   When you think you are finished submitting all grades, please verify there is a grade entered for each student in your class.

 

If you have a class with more than 25 students, just above the headings on the grade roll and at the end of the grade roll will be the word  Records: 1-25 26-50, etc.    This tells you how many students are in the class and that for every 25 students in the class you will have to click on the next number group (next set of records) to continue grade processing. 

 

If you wish to have a printed copy of the grades you will be submitting, you should print the class list with grades before the final grade submission deadline.   Once that deadline has passed and you can no longer submit grades on the web, the print function is disabled as well.

 

*IMPORTANT*       Block I and Block II grades are due four days after the last final  examination scheduled but no later than Noon, Tuesday, December 16, 2008.

 

Grades will be “Rolled”  to the students’ transcripts every Friday during the term, and twice daily (early morning and late afternoon) December 8 – 12, and December 15.  On December 16, grades will “roll” in early morning and after noon.   

 

When Enrollment Management rolls grades it freezes your ability to make any changes electronically to the grades you have already submitted; it will not affect any students for whom you have not submitted grades.   As soon as grades are rolled, they become available immediately to students for viewing on the WEB.
