I received an error trying to drop a student using the Drop roster.

If you received an error message when attempting to drop a student from your class, please take the following steps to confirm whether the drop succeeded:

  • When you are on the Drop roster for your section, reload the page in your web browser
  • Check if student is still on drop roster. If drop succeeded, they will not be listed
  • Click on Roster tab, which should now show that the student was dropped. 
  • If the student was not dropped as expected, please contact your Admissions and Records office. 

Self Service appears to have a bug where a "false error" is displayed at times, even if the drop succeeded. This issue has been reported by non-credit and appears to be intermittent at times. We have reached out to our vendor to troubleshoot. 


How do I access Web Attendance Tracking? Will entry of Positive Attendance (PA) Hours be enabled in Self-Service?

The link to Web Attendance Tracking is available in Self-Service under the Faculty menu in the left-hand navigation.

There will be no change in procedure with respects to entering in Positive Attendance hours.

(Web Attendance Tracking for entering in Positive Attendance (PA) is an external application unrelated to WebAdvisor.  The link is merely provided in WebAdvisor for easy access.)

To access Web Attendance Tracking in Self-Service:

  1. Log into Self-Service
  2. Select the Navigation Menu icon
  3. Expand the Daily Work (briefcase icon
  4. Expand the Faculty submenu under Daily Work and
  5. Select Web Attendance Tracking from the links.
See Self-Service Navigation Menu for access to Web Attendance Tracking, under the Daily Work and Faculty sub-menus. 

Will my rosters or other information I entered into WebAdvisor be lost?

No, rosters or information you entered into WebAdvisor will not be lost.  Your rosters are available in Self-Service already.  We encourage you to navigate to and become familiar with Self-Service now.


If I have already graded in WebAdvisor, will I need to re-enter grades in Self-Service?  

If you have already completed your grade submission using WebAdvisor, they are in the system and you will not need to re-enter them in Self-Service. ​​

​​

When using Self-Service, how do I see grades that I posted in WebAdvisor during the current or previous semesters? 

Under the Faculty menu, select the section that you want to view your grades.   Your sections are arranged by term with the most recent terms towards the top.  

Click on the Section Name to open the Section Details for that section. Then click on the Grading tab. By default, the Overview sub-tab will be open.    

Grades you have posted – whether through WebAdvisor or Self-Service – will be displayed here. ​


How do I save/print my grades, to submit as Proof of Grade submission?

To save/print your grades in Self-Service, we recommend using Ctrl + P (Windows) or Cmd + P (Mac) to open the Print screen. 

For the printer Destination, select Save as PDF.

This will save a PDF copy of the page you are viewing which you can send as proof of grade submission to your department.
