Verify access to grade rosters

Instructors should verify that they have access to their assigned grade rosters before the last day of instruction by using the "My Classes" report in UM Reports. Grades can be entered online through the University Self-Service grades pages. Class rosters and grade entry for courses owned by the School of Public Health are available only through the School of Public Health grading system.

Due to the PeopleSoft Upgrade in February, this is the last time the current University Self-Service grades pages will be used for final grading. As you provide your faculty and instructors with the following tips, you may wish to include information on how final grading will be changing.

Mobile devices
At this time, smart phones and iPads cannot be used to enter final grades. (The PeopleSoft self-service pages for grade entry are not compatible with mobile devices.) 

Browser compatibility
The browser type and version used by the grade enterer can also affect grade entry. Mac users typically have the best success with the Safari browser (Safari on an iPad will not work for grade entry). PC users typically have the best grade entry success with either the Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers. 

Clearing your cache
All grade enterers and approvers should clear their browser cache prior to the grades entry period to ensure they have the most recent version of the grades pages. Some assistance is available on the grade entry section of the Faculty One Stop web page. 

Where to go for help
If you know of someone encountering issues with grades entry please refer them to the Student Records Training and Support Team for further assistance at (612) 625-2803 or via email at srhelp@umn.edu. The University is closed on December 25 and 26. Although staff will not be available to answer questions on these days, instructors and others may still use these helplines and someone will respond to them as soon as possible.
