Faculty Center:

All functions within Faculty Center should continue to operate as normal. Users may see mostly cosmetic updates* to their favorite pages--such as button colors, menu bars, and panel outlines. Menu navigation will also shift to the right.

Users with multiple roles in PeopleSoft may have slightly varied layouts depending on access.

Note: Only users with a student role may access Student Center by clicking on the CSULB logo in the middle of the black bar at the top of the screen. If you do not have a student role and select this link, you will remain on your current page.

The process for entering final student grades remains the same. You may notice a different look and feel to the style of the buttons, tables, and menus.
