For the Record - Faculty Edition

January 2013 • Volume 5 • Number 4
Spring 2013 Is Here!

Winter break came and went in a flash. Spring 2013 is upon us!

The Office of the Registrar is here to help no matter how you serve students. Need to verify a student's schedule? Being asked for information you're not sure you should give out? Want to reserve a classroom? We've got answers!

Also, check out our website. It's a great resource - you can find Registrar policies, forms, instructions, calendars, and more.

Faculty - Review Your Roster

Log in to eCommon to review your roster. This is the only official, accurate roster. It's updated in real-time, so you always know when students are adding and dropping your courses.

Is there a student on your list who isn't coming to class, or a student coming to class missing from the list? Tell us!

Remember, this is the roster of students you will have to grade at the end of the term. Don't wait until May to tell us about discrepancies.

Add/Drop & Registration Permissions

Unrestricted vs. Restricted Add/Drop:
 

  • Unrestricted Add/Drop (Jan. 16-23) - Students may add/drop freely online.
  • Restricted Add/Drop (Jan. 24-30) - Students must have instructor permission applied to their account to add any course, and must add courses in person at the Student Service Center. Online drop still in effect.


Granting Registration Permissions:


If a student does not meet the requirements for a course, or the course is full, they may ask for permission to register for that course.

Who gets to grant permissions?

It depends on what is being waived. Review this chart for details.

How does it work?
When a permission is granted, the grantor passes the information to the appropriate Department Assistant, who will apply the permission and direct the student to register online or in-person.

It is the student's responsibility to register for the course, it is not automatically added. See the instructions for granting registration permissions for more details.
 

January 23: Wednesday = Monday

Remember, on Wednesday, January 23rd we will follow a Monday class schedule.

FERPA - Everyone's Responsibility

It bears repeating that we all have a legal responsibility to keep our students' academic records private. We can't post grades on our office doors for anyone to grab, or talk to a parent about their child's academic progress. Only the student can decide who to share this information with.

Do you know your FERPA? Review the policy and take the tutorial.
