1. Go to the Faculty & Advisers Menu. 

  2. Select the term and CRN by clicking on the menu choices at the top of the list (Term Selection or CRN Selection):

 A. Use the drop-down menu to select the term (Fall 2001 or Spring 2002, for example) and click the Submit Term button.  Banner will assume that any subsequent request refers to this term until you change it.  

  B. Banner will then ask you the CRN for the section you wish to see.  You don't have to know the exact CRN because the drop-down menu will list only the courses that you are teaching for that particular term.  (This should be only one to four courses.)  Select the course and click the Select CRN button.  Banner will then assume that any subsequent request to see a class list refers to this particular section.  To see the roster for a different section, you need to click on CRN Selection (or perhaps even Term Selection if you're changing terms), the first two choices on the menu, in order to change to a new section.

  3. Click on Class List Summary.  (You could also click Class List; however, the summary gives you the information in list form and is generally more useful.)  Banner will ask you to select the term for which you want to see information.

You will then see a roster of your students.  You can print this out if you wish, although the printouts that we supply in the office look better.  Usually, you can just check that list against what you think is your official roster to be sure that they correspond.  If they don't, keep in mind that the one on the computer is the official roster.  If a student does not appear on that list, the student is not registered for your course.

If you wish you can download the list list by clicking on the appropriate words above or below your list.  Your browser will then switch over to an Excel spreadsheet and the data in Banner will be brought into your local computer.  This is a good way to get started on an electronic grade book, but you have to feel comfortable with Excel in order to use this feature effectively.  If you click this link, the browser will grind away for a moment or two and then put you in an Excel spreadsheet (if Excel is available on your computer), or it will give you a chance to save the data to a spreadsheet file.  In either case you should save the data as an Excel file to a directory to which you'll be able to return later.

When you first see the Excel spreadsheet, the data will look jumbled together because the columns will be too narrow.  Once you widen these columns (double click on the gray borders between the columns in the very top row), you see three rows, which are labeled "Stu ID," "Name," and "Email."  You can then add additional columns and use this spreadsheet to enter grades.  The spreadsheet is great way to average grades (much better than using the hundreds-of-points method).

You can return to the Faculty & Advisers Menu by clicking on the Back button to your browser.
