Class Roster

1. Step 1 Select the class roster you would like to view by clicking on the class roster icon to the left of the class. The system will display the class roster.

   Note: If there is no enrollment in the class, the class roster icon will not display.

   

   Only students who are enrolled in the class at the time of viewing will appear on the roster, including those with "W" grades.

2. Step 2 The default Enrollment Status field is "Enrolled." This field displays all students who are officially enrolled in the class listed in alphabetical order.
   • Students who dropped after the second week of instruction in the fall or spring semester will appear on the "Enrolled" roster with (Withdrawn) next to their name, since they receive a grade of "W". The "W" will show on the student's transcript. Note: "WE" will also appear on the roster.
   • Students who have been approved to audit the class will appear on the "Enrolled" roster with (Audit) next to their name.
   IMPORTANT! Students must be officially enrolled in the course by the Add Deadline. This roster displays actual, up to the second information. A student who is not listed on the Enrolled roster is NOT officially registered. Students who are not officially registered as of the Census date of the term may not continue to participate in the class.
   • Use the Enrollment Status pull down menu to change the type of roster displayed. Options are: Enrolled, Dropped, Waiting and All.
   • Up to the week before the start of classes, Waiting displays students who are currently waitlisted for the class. The Waiting roster is listed in waitlist order. Waitlists are purged prior to the beginning of instruction. Once the waitlist is purged, the information is no longer available for viewing.
   • Dropped displays students who dropped after the start of classes but before a "W" is posted. For Fall and Spring, this is during the first two weeks of classes. Students who dropped the course prior to the start of classes will no longer appear on any roster and the course will not appear on their University transcript.
   • The Student ID field displays the student's Campus ID number.
   • The Units field displays the number of units each student will earn upon successful completion of the course. For most courses, this will simply be the unit value of the course. For Variable unit courses, the student must identify the number of units they are attempting at the time of enrollment. Errors in the student's units taken must be corrected by the Add deadline for the semester.
   • The Program-Plan-Subplan field displays the student's primary Academic Major, as well as the type of degree or certificate the student is pursuing. The student may also be pursuing a second major, minor, certificate, or credential, but these additional programs do not display on the roster.
   • The Academic Level field displays the student's projected academic level at the start of the term, which will be the student's actual academic level, provided that the student passed all courses in progress in previous terms. The system uses this field for requisite checking at the time the student registers for the course.

Viewing Class Permissions

Load Class Roster into Excel

Faculty may wish to load their class rosters into Excel for use in managing the course, e.g. recording attendance, test grades, etc. You can create an Excel roster by following these simple steps:

1. Click on the "Download to MS Excel" icon at the top of the roster, (you may need to hold down the 'Control' key when you click on the icon or disable pop-up blockers in your browser). A window for Excel will appear to download the roster.
2. Click on the Open button.

   

3. Microsoft Excel will display your roster.



4. You may need to resize the columns to the desired width.
5. You may save the file to your computer by clicking on "Save" and indicating the folder to save it to.

TIP! Remember to refer to the on-line roster for the current official information!

Grade Roster

Since myCSULB only requires an Internet connection and browser, instructors may record and submit grades from campus, home, or any other convenient location that has an Internet connection.

You are only authorized to grade classes to which you've been assigned as a primary instructor. If a class you are responsible for grading does not display on your list, contact the department regarding your assignment. Once the information is changed in the Student Administration system, it is immediately available to you via myCSULB.

Note: The term displayed might not be the term you are attempting to grade. You may need to change the term.

1. Step 1 Select the grade roster you would like to view by clicking on the grade roster link icon  to the left of the class. The system will display the grade roster.

   NOTE: Grade rosters are normally generated shortly after the last day of instruction for the term. There is no need for concern if you do not see the icon for the class prior to this date.
   If you do not see the Class Roster icon, the class does not have students enrolled.

   Only students who are enrolled in the class at this time will appear on the roster, including those with "W" or “WE” grades.

2. Step 2a Select a grade in the Roster Grade field located to the right of the student's name. Some courses have been designated, through the curriculum process, as CR/NC only or traditional grading only.

   If the student has elected the CR/NC option for a graded course, you will be given the option to select either CR or NC or a letter grade, which the system will convert to the appropriate CR or NC grade.

   After selecting a grade, press the Tab key to move to the next student on the list or use the mouse to click in the roster grade field for the student you wish to grade. Continue to move through the roster until all grades are entered. (If grading a large class, we suggest that you SAVE after every 10 entries).

   Note. If a WU is assigned to a student, a last date of attendance must be entered. Upon saving the grade roster a date field will appear to the right of the grade input, defaulting to the 60% date in the term.

   You should change the default date to accurately reflect the last day the student attended your class.  Please be sure to save the grade roster BEFORE you change the Approval Status to 'APPROVED'.

3. Step 2b You have the option to assign a specific grade to multiple students in 3 easy steps:
1. Check the box to the left of the student IDs
2. Select a grade from the pull down menu at the bottom of the page
3. Click the 'add this grade to selected students' button.



You should change the default date to accurately reflect the last day the student attended you class.  Please be sure to save the grade roster BEFORE you change the Approval Status to 'APPROVED'.

USEFUL TIPS!

• Save early and save often, especially if you have a large class to grade.
• You may enter grades for some students, click the "Save" button at the bottom of the roster, and return later to grade the remaining students.
• Click the Display Unassigned Roster Grade Only check box to list only students that have not been assigned a grade.  This may make it easier to navigate through the page.
4. Step 3 Once you have entered and validated all grades, you must save them by clicking on the "Save" button at the bottom of the page. A window will appear reminding you to change the Approval Status once all grades have been entered and saved.

   

5. Step 4 Select 'Approved' from the Approval Status field and click the "Save" button again. A new window will appear informing you that the grades have been successfully submitted to Enrollment Services.

   

   The 'Approved' status signifies that grades are ready for official submission to the University. Enrollment Services will post grades daily for rosters in 'Approved' status. Once grades are posted, you may continue to view your grade roster(s) but cannot make changes.

   IMPORTANT!
   • All grades must be entered and rosters must be in ‘Approved’ status by the deadline to submit grades.
   • After the grading deadline, any grade roster left in ‘Not Reviewed’ status, but fully graded (a grade has been entered for each student) will be administratively posted in order to meet the university deadline.
   • Incomplete contracts, for each ‘I’ assigned, must be submitted to Enrollment Services within one week of the grading deadline.
