1.         Open the Registration Configuration window.

2.         Click the Registration Configuration tab.
Example

a.         Locate the Grade Notes group box and choose one of the following options:

• W - Display Grade Notes only in Web Grade Entry

• E - Display Grade Notes only in EX Grade Entry

• G - Display Grade Notes both in Web and EX Grade Entry

• N - Do not display Grade Notes

Grade Notes are created by associating a specific type of attribute to a student. This attribute will display as a Grade Note in Grade Entry in EX and/or the campus portal according to the value selected from the Grade Notes drop-down pick list. GRNEW, GROLD, and GRD* attributes associated with the student will display in Grade Entry based on the setting selected. Dates of the attribute are also honored. If there are multiple GRNEW, GROLD, and GRD* notes, only the one with the latest date will display.

3.         Click the Configuration Table tab.

Example

a.         Select the Allow Instructors with Permissions to Enter Grade for Graded Courses when the Registration Transaction Status is History check box if you want to allow the Grade Entry feature user to change grades for registrations that have been set to the History status (assuming the Grade Entry Dates are still open).

4.         To control which faculty members can enter grades, select the appropriate value in the Web Grading Rights column on the Faculty tab of the Courses window or the Faculty Load window in EX. If you allow individual faculty to edit graded courses (Option e below), there is still the overall configuration in the Registration Configuration window (shown above) that determines if faculty can change the grade after the Transaction Status of the course has become ‘H’ (History). The options are:

1. • Can view and enter grades for ungraded courses

   • No access to view grades

   • View only access for grades

   • Can view and update grades for graded courses

   • Can view and edit for both graded and ungraded courses

5.         To control whether a grade is to be available for selection in the feature:

a.         Open the Grade Table Definition window.
Example

b.         In the Details group box, choose WEB in the Show on Web drop-down pick list if you want this grade to be available for selection by the faculty in the Grade Entry feature and by the advisors or students in the GPA Projection feature in the campus portal.

i.           If applicable, select the Mid-Term Grade Editable in Grade Entry Portlet checkbox.

ii.         If applicable, select the Final Grade Editable in Grade Entry Portlet checkbox.

 

These settings can be done by the Student Administrator and/or Advisor Administrator, depending on which role you want to do the setup. These settings will be applied to all instances (copies) of the feature, regardless of the feature page on which the feature is located.

The Portal Settings page appears.

a.         Select the Use Midterms check box if your institution allows faculty to enter and display midterm grade information.
