  1. MAIS The Office of the Registrar and Michigan Administrative Information Services Web Grades Overview

  2. Web Grades - Background • Entering grades directly into the system via Teaching Support on Wolverine Access replaced the paper Grade Rosters that were submitted to the Registrar’s Office for data entry campus-wide in Fall 2005. Web Grades Overview -- http://www.umich.edu/~regoff/webgrades.html

  3. Web Grades - Benefits • Instructors enter grades from anywhere in the world using the internet. • Grades are entered by the instructor (person who determines the grade), which is more efficient, accurate, and faster than the paper method. • Paperless process. Paper grade rosters will not have to be generated, distributed, filled out, and collected before data entry of grades can begin. • Students can view their grades sooner because fewer steps are required for grade entry.

  6. Grade Roster - Approval Status Options Not Reviewed • Grades may or may not have been entered on the Grade Roster. Ready for Review • Grades have been entered on the Grade Roster and are ready to be reviewed.

This status is generated when grades have been posted to the Student Record. • The Grade Roster cannot be modified after the grades have been posted. • Grades are available to be viewed by students on Wolverine Access. • Grade changes can be requested. The “Request Grade Change” link appears on the Grade Roster for instructors with “Approve” grade roster access and proxies with “Grade Change” access. For more information, see the Grade Change materials on the Office of the Registrar’s Web Grades site. Web Grades Overview -- http://www.umich.edu/~regoff/webgrades.html

  8. Who Can Enter Grades • Instructors • Person assigned to teach the class in M-Pathways. • For classes with multiple components (e.g., lecture, lab, recitation), ONLY the graded component of the class will have a grade entered. If a class has multiple components, the instructor has to be associated with the graded component to enter grades for the class section. • Proxies • Allow someone who is not assigned to teach a class to enter and/or approve/submit grades for the class. • Can be an instructor or a staff member. • Can be assigned by instructors via Teaching Support. Web Grades Overview -- http://www.umich.edu/~regoff/webgrades.html

  9. Who Can Enter Grades: Proxies (continued) • Grade roster proxy assignments can be made after the first day of the class, but before the grading period to avoid delays. • There could be a 24 hour delay in granting Teaching Support access, depending upon the security status of the person being assigned as the Proxy. • Proxy must be UM employee with Kerberos login/password • A student cannot be assigned as a Proxy. • Instructors cannot assign Proxy to self. • A Proxy cannot assign Proxies. • When Proxies are assigned, an automated email will be sent to the Assignor and Assignee. • Directions on how to assign a Proxy available on Office of the Registrar’s Web Grades site. Web Grades Overview -- http://www.umich.edu/~regoff/webgrades.html

  10. Levels of Access for Grade Entry Instructors and Proxies can enter and/or approve/submit grades depending on their access. There are two types of access. • Enter Grades (“Grade” – grade roster access) • Can enter grades on the grade roster. Note: Need to have a person with “Approve” – grade roster access must review and approve/submit grades. 2. Approve Grade Roster (“Approve” – grade roster access) • Enter grades and approve/submit the grade roster.Note: If an instructor is assigned “Approve” – grade roster access, he/she does not need to be assigned “Grade” – grade roster access. “Approve” – grade roster access allows an instructor to enter and approve/submit grades. Note: Departments decide who has “Grade” and “Approve” – grade roster access. Grade roster access is set up by Class Maintainers for each class section. Class Maintainers will be contacted by the GRADE COORDINATOR for their department when set up actions are required. Web Grades Overview -- http://www.umich.edu/~regoff/webgrades.html
