Banner for Faculty

General Information

Faculty members can see information about all classes assigned to them in a term, including enrollment and locations, on the Faculty Detail Schedule on the Banner Self Service Web application. Faculty members can see a weekly calendar view of all classes assigned to them for a term on the Faculty Schedule by Day and Time page.

To see detailed information about a class, faculty can click the link that appears on the class name. This opens the Faculty Detail Schedule page, but this time, information about that one class only is displayed.

Faculty can also see their schedules for parts of a term if they are teaching a class that is held for only part of the term.

Please e-mail us with any questions you have about Banner.

Class List (Summary and Detail Views)

Faculty can see a class list for each of their assigned classes in a term.

The Summary Class List page shows a list of students enrolled in this class. Wait-listed students are not included. This page displays details about the students registered in the section, such as name, ID, level, credit hours, and grades. The Reg Status field displays the registration status code; if you need to know what the code represents, you can view the Detail Class List, where the registration status code description is displayed. Each student's name is a link that allows you to view that student's address and phone number.

The Detail Class List page displays all the details that are included on the Summary Class List page Summary Class List page, plus each student's program, college, department, degree, major, class, and registration status date.

Faculty can see a wait list for each of their assigned classes in a term.

The Summary Wait List page displays details about the students, such as name, level, ID, and credits. It also shows information about actual enrollment and the wait list. The Reg Status field displays the registration status code; if you need to know what the code represents, you can view the Detail Wait List, where the registration status code description is displayed.

Each student's name is a link that will allow you to view that student's address and phone number details.

The Detail Wait List page displays all the details that are included on the Summary Wait List page, plus each student's program, college, degree, major, class, and department. Just like the Summary Wait List, each student's name is a link that will allow you to view that student's address and phone number details.

Entering Mid-Term and Final Grades

Faculty members can enter grades using Faculty Self-Service as soon as Enrollment Services activates that feature. This date is normally announced by that office at the start of each term or as that information becomes available.

To enter mid-term grades, use the Mid-Term Grade page.

To enter final grades, use the Final Grade page.

The process to enter grades is the same on both pages.

By default, only the "primary" instructor for a class may enter grades.

When the instructor selects a term and CRN, a listing of the students in the class is displayed along with the registration status of each student. If the student has already received a grade for the course through automatic grading, that grade is displayed and cannot be changed if the grades are set to not be entered manually (which is not generally the case at UAH).

A little background information: Grades entered in Faculty Self-Service are not automatically rolled to academic history. The standard Banner roll process (performed by Enrollment Services) still controls which grades are rolled to academic history.

Please e-mail us with any questions you have about Banner.

Time Limits

Our institution will establish a time limit (around 45 minutes) for using the Mid-Term and Final Grade pages. If you reach time limit without clicking the Submit button, your changes will not be saved. To avoid this, you should click the Submit button often. If you have not saved by the time the time limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out of Faculty Self-Service and all changes since your last save will be lost.

If you need to change a grade after the grade "window" has expired, you will need to complete a manual "Change of Grade" form, which should be available from the Chair's office of your academic department.
