The web site for entering grades can be found via Western’s home page, clicking on "Administration ", clicking on "Registrar", click on "Faculty" and then "Grading".
You will be asked to login in with your ID [your SSN or V#] and PIN. Click "submit". If you need assistance determining your PIN, please contact RoseAnn Riester at x88184. If this is your first time using this system or if you have had the same PIN for a year, then you must change your PIN for security reasons. You will be prompted, "Your PIN is expired, you must change it now." Enter your old PIN (the one you just used to log in with. Then enter a new PIN of your choice, it must be six digits long but may be numbers, letters, upper or lower case. When you PIN is successfully changed, you will be asked to enter a security question. This is a question used by the Registrar's Office to verify your identity incase you forget your PIN.
Please do not use any information here that would be known by your students for your security question and answer.
- Click on the "Faculty Menu".
- Select "Final Grades".
- Select the correct term from the pull-down menu and click "submit".
- You will be given a pull-down list of the courses you are teaching this term.
- Choosing a CRN and clicking "submit" will provide a grading roster.
Note: the primary instructor must enter the grades for courses with more than one instructor of record.
Choose the appropriate grade from the pull-down menu; the acceptable grades are A through F, +/-, X or I. Please note that the web does not indicate if a student was taking the class pass/no credit or as an audit. You should grade all students on the standard A – F scale; the database will default the appropriate grades to "P" or "AU".
If you find a student’s name missing, please send a note ~ including the student’s name, course, and appropriate grade ~ to the registrar’s office and we will research the problem.
If you find a student’s name on your roster whom you don’t think should be on your list, a grade must still be entered. The fact that the student is still on the roster indicates that the student never properly dropped the course and is responsible for the grade earned.
Finally, please remember that the "X" grade is not to be used where a student attended your course one or more times and then ceased attendance without properly withdrawing from the course. Such students should be graded on the usual A – F scale.
When you are finished entering grades for a class, click the "submit" button on the bottom of the page. You can either "exit" or "return to menu" to select another class.
Be sure to log out [exit] and close your web browser when you’re finished.
