New Grading Process for Lecture/Lab Classes Begins Spring 2013

This is a reminder to faculty that grade rosters for lecture/lab (multiple component) classes will be generated for each lab section rather than for the lecture section.  Faculty members who are responsible for all the grades for the course have several options:

Option 1: If one faculty member/instructor is responsible for all the grades for all the course, s/he can grade each separate lab.

Option 2: D2L can be used to produce a combined grade roster. The grades from the combined roster can be exported into Titan Web. They will automatically be exported into the correct lab sections. Faculty members who want to have lab sections combined in D2L should complete the form available at http://www.uwosh.edu/d2lfaq/general/general-for-instructors/how-do-i-combine-cross-listed-or-multi-section-courses-1 .
Please note: Faculty who believe that neither of these options can work for them, should email Registrar@uwosh.edu for assistance. We will supply spreadsheets to make the manual entry a little easier.

Foreign Language classes will not change as they already use the new setup.    

Browse Catalog via Titan Web

Did you know that you can Browse the Catalog for course listing information from within Titan Web? This course catalog will show current course information and any future dated changes to the course that have been entered into PeopleSoft.  For example, if your department has a course that has been active for several years but is making changes to it for Fall 2013 (effective 9/4/2013), you will be able to see information for both the current course and the course as of 9/4/2013. Or, if there is a course that will first be offered Fall 2013, you will see it listed as of the first date it is available. You actually can click on a link within the course information to see when class sections of the course are being offered.

To get to Browse Catalog within PeopleSoft, go to Curriculum Management_Course Catalog_Browse Catalog and select the subject. Please remember that this Course Catalog is not the same as the Bulletin; it is a valuable tool but only lists course information. not degree requirements.

Spring 2013 e-grading

Grade rosters for 2nd 7-week courses and 14-week courses will be available 8:00 a.m.. Monday, May 6; grades will be due by 5:59 p.m., Wednesday, May 15.  Grade rosters for 10-week courses, 17-week courses, and the 3-week interim will be available 8:00 a.m. Monday, May 27; grades will be due by 5:59 p.m., Friday, June 5, 2013.

The link to e-Grading resources (tutorial, FAQs, policies, troubleshooting) can be found on the Registrar's Office web site (http://www.uwosh.edu/registrar/faculty/egrading-resources).

Every night at 6:00 p.m. an automated grade-post process will run.  Students' official grades will not be visible on Titan Web until completion of the grade-post process.  After grades have posted, the grade roster will close and cannot be re-opened.  Therefore, any grade changes will have to be done via the Change-of-Grade form.  These forms are available through department administrative associates or through the Records & Transcripts Office (Dempsey 130).

Incomplete (I) Grades

Incomplete (I) grades assigned in courses taken prior to the Spring 2013 term must be changed to a final grade by 4:30 p.m. Friday, May 31.  If the 'I' grade is not changed, it will lapse to an 'F'.  Incomplete (I) grades can be changed to final grades by submitting a Change-of-Grade form to the Records & Transcripts office (Dempsey 130).

In mid-April, grade-lapse notification letters will be sent to the students who will be affected by the grade-lapse process; they will be instructed to contact course instructors.

Additional information on the Incomplete grade-lapse policy can be found in the Undergraduate Bulletin (Undergraduate Bulletin - Academic Policies) and Graduate Bulletin (Graduate Studies Academic Policies — Office of Graduate Studies at University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.
