TC fall grades due by December 28, 2017

Final grades for fall (regular and second 7-week sessions) are due Thursday, December 28 at 11:59 p.m. Grade rosters are now available in Faculty Center. Other campuses may check grade due dates with their registrar's office.

Please encourage instructors to log into Faculty Center ahead of time to check that they have a final grade roster for the classes they expect. If instructors do not see their expected final grade rosters, they should contact their department’s class scheduler.

Grading resources are available on the ASR website. You may also contact ASR Training and Support at srhelp@umn.edu or 612-625-2803 with questions.

Once the grade due date has passed:

• The grades cannot be uploaded or imported from Moodle
• Grades are entered individually as grade changes

Edit 12/22/17: An edit was made to clarify that the due date may not apply for all campuses. Apologies for any confusion. 

Instructor assignment reminders for spring 2018

CCS schedulers should review instructor assignments for spring 2018 classes to ensure that appropriate individuals have the correct access to class rosters and grade rosters. 

On CCS Maintain Schedule of Classes > Meeting tab, check that:

• Instructors and proxies (if applicable) are assigned to all class sections with enrollment.
• Graduate assistants have an “Instructor Role” of “TA.”
• Instructors and proxies have been given the correct grading “Access”:
• Approve access allows one to enter, save, and submit grades. 
• Grade access allows one to only enter and save grades.
• Undergraduate students assigned as TAs may not have “Approve” or “Grade” access.

Updated how-to guides available

Quick start guides for Faculty Center (class rosters, grade entry, class permissions, etc.), Advisor Center, and Student Center have been refreshed as How-to guides. The new guides have an updated look and feel to mirror the MyU refresh.

Please share these How-to guides with your faculty, instructors, and staff.
