Academic Year Access Rights for Faculty

From the navigation bar, under Setup, click Edit academic year access rights for faculty. The Academic year access page appears.

On this page, you designate the academic years in which users can access information in Faculty Access for the Web. Access to an academic year includes access to all sessions of the academic year. You can control access to grades and attendance and course requests separately. Advisors and administrators can view information for all academic years on a student page.

Note: Academic years are set up in Registrar's Office, Configuration.

Tip: Before you grant users access to grades and attendance in an academic year, we recommend you first set up marking column access and decide whether teachers can create their own grading scales and marking column weights. If you require that teachers only use supervisor-defined grading scales and marking column weights after you grant access to grades and attendance in an academic year, you cannot be sure that they used required scales and calculations only.

If teachers need to use the copy last year's gradebook or copy grading scales and weights tasks during initial gradebook setup for an academic year, they need access to grades and attendance for the previous academic year. You also need access to grades and attendance in a previous academic year if you copy supervisor-defined grading scales and marking column weights from a previous year.

If you do not want teachers to see their upcoming schedules during the scheduling process, we recommend you do not grant access to grades and attendance for that academic year during scheduling.
