Final term Grades are submitted in WebAdvisor, instead of filling in the Grade Roster scanner form.  The process is easy, but you can read the instructions by clicking on the link below.

**How to Use WebGrading Instructions**

 

 

What is WebAdvisor

WebAdvisor is the interface that allows you to access the information in the administrative system used by the Registrar's Office to maintain student and course information.

The product you are using contains the features that are delivered with the software.  We will be making changes to reflect Hamilton College's needs very shortly.

Technical Information

WebAdvisor will operate on both PCs and Macs.

On a PC - Both Internet Explorer and Netscape function completely.
On a Mac - The preferred browser is Netscape.

Internet Explorer will allow most function of WebAdvisor. If you are using a Mac with Internet Explorer 5.0, the LOGOUT buttons and the LOGIN IN AGAIN feature will not work. If you need to logout, select the logout button, when Internet Explorer has stopped running, press the OPTION/APPLE/ESC keys all at once. This will bring up a box that asks if you want to cancel the session or continue. Click on the option to cancel the session. You will be returned to the desktop.

 

Please note

  • The "Time Out" for this system is approximately 10 minutes. If there is no activity for 10 minutes, the system will automatically log you off and you will have to log back into WebAdvisor for any function and re-enter data.
  • While in WebAdvisor, we discourage use of the "Back" button and the "Enter" key because they may function differently depending on your browser and PC setup. Use the "Menu" and "Submit" buttons as directed.

  • The username and password must be entered in lower case. You can not change your password at this time.
  • Because the information relating to student records is confidential, please be sure to LOGOUT when you have finished viewing the record.

    Regardless of how you decide to search for classes, whether just one of the options or a combination, you must always scroll down and click Submit.

    After submitting your choice, you will get a listing of the sections that meet the criteria requested. Note the STATUS column to determine if the course is open or closed.

    CLASS ROSTERS

    You can view Class Rosters for a current or past term.  If you DO NOT select a term or date range on the Class Roster option, you will get a list of all of your courses that are maintained in the system.  If you want to narrow your selection list to a specific term, you can select the available terms from the TERM pull down field.

    The Class Roster option has a space for the student e-mail address.  The student e-mail addresses have not been loaded into the system, but will be available in the future.

    Note that the information in all WebAdvisor application represents the information that we have in the administrative system.  If a student  does not appear on your Class Roster in WebAdvisor, they probably have not officially added the course with the Registrar's Office.  Please have them come to the Registrar's Office to correct their schedule.

    MY ADVISEES

    The My Advisees Option allows you to view academic information for your advisees.  You can see the academic transcript and the schedule for a given term.  Remember the data reflects actual data in the Registrar's system - If you don't see the information, it hasn't been entered in the system.

    Transcripts - The student academic record is listed with Course Number/Title, Grade Units, Repeated Course Indicator (this will be checked if the course is a repeated course) and the term.  Transfer credit will be listed with a course title or description, but no letter grades.

    Schedule - Select the term from the pull down menu to see the current schedule information contained in the system. (Note: once courses are grades, they move from the schedule to the transcript).  If you like to follow-up on advising conversations regarding registration or add/drop, you can see the changes to the student schedule as soon as they are made.

    The information found in My Advisees is a great resources for advising meetings.  Since the data is always available, and up to date, you won't need to request copies of student information from the Registrar's Office before you can talk with an advisee.

    You can select only one option at a time.  Once you have viewed the information on an advisee, click on the menu button in the top right corner to return to the menu.  For security reasons, you will always return to the faculty menu.  This prevents anyone without authorization from returning to the advisee listing to determine the name of the student record that was displayed.  You should also note that for security reasons, the student name never appears on the WebAdvisor transcript or schedule screens.
