VIEW CLASS LIST

Faculty members may view class lists or courses they are assigned to for the selected term. Both primary and non-primary instructors with instructional assignments will have access to the class lists. Classes that a faculty member is not assigned to may also be viewed by clicking the direct CRN entry link at the bottom of the CRN selection page. The class list is displayed in detail or summary format. There is also an option to download the class list to MS-Excel or MS-Word. These are each displayed as separate options on the Faculty and Advisors Menu.

Detail Faculty Class List

The Detail Faculty Class List provides instructors with a detailed list of students who are registered for a specified course and term.

The Summary Faculty Class List provides instructors with a alphabetical list of students who are registered for a specified course and term. This web page shows the same information that the Detail Class List Page shows, but in a more condensed fashion, so that not as much scrolling is needed. The term and course the faculty member would like to work with are chosen via the Term Selection Page and the CRN Selection Page respectively. To view a student's address information, click on a specific student name. This will take you to the View Addresses and Phones page.

A border provides a thick line around each cell for only the columns and rows in use. The rest of the spreadsheet cells will not have lines. If you prefer gridlines, extract the class list with no borders. You can then add gridlines within Excel by choosing Options from the Tools menu and then checking the Gridlines box on the View tab. In Word, the border option will create a double-line border around all cells in the table instead of the standard single line border.

Students will not be allowed to register if there are holds on their record which prevent registration or if they are not in good academic standing.

Override Descriptions:

ATTS / Student Attribute Override

An attribute override will allow a student to register for a class that is only available to students assigned a specific student attribute. For example, these attributes are used to only allow a student who has the HNRC student attribute to register for an honors course or a student with the INL student attribute to register for an Innovation and Leadership specific course. Adding an attribute override would allow a student missing and attribute to register for an attribute-restricted course.

NOTE: As of Winter 2022, this override should not be entered without approval from the registrar’s office.

CAPACITY / Capacity Override

A capacity override will allow a student to register for a class that has reached its max enrollment.

NOTE: This is the override needed to allow a student to register in a full class if they are on the waitlist.

CLASS / Class Override A class override will allow a student in one class (i.e. freshman) to register for a class section that is only available to students in other specific classes. For example, it could allow a student who is a Sophomore to register for a class that is restricted to Juniors and Seniors.
COHORT / Cohort Override A cohort override will allow a student to register for a class that is restricted to a particular cohort or student attribute code.
COREQS / Corequisite Override A co-requisite override will allow a student to register for a class without registering for another class that is a co-requisite. This would be a specialized case where the student is not required to take the co-requisite course at the same time.
DUPLICATES / Duplicate Course Override

A duplicate course override will allow a student to register for a class with the same subject and number for which they are already registered for.

NOTE: This override will not resolve a duplicate CRN error. For this error, email registrar@sou.edu

MAJOR / Major Override A major override will allow a student to register for a class that is only available to students with different specific majors. For example, it could allow a student who is a math major to register for a class that only allows business majors.
PREREQS / PreRequisite Override A pre-requisite override will allow a student to register for a class even though they haven't taken the pre-requisite courses.
SPCLAPPR / Instructor Signature Override

An Instructor Signature Override will allow a student to register for a class that requires an instructor’s signature.

NOTE: This override IS NOT a catch-all override. It applies specifically to the “Instructor Signature Required” note in the catalog / course schedule

TIME / Time Conflict A time conflict override will allow a student to register for a class that has a time overlap with a different class they are already registered for.
WAITLIST / Wait List Override

A wait list override will give special priority to a student on the wait list. If the student has a wait list override, the next opening in the class will be offered to them instead of the next person on the wait list.

NOTE: This override DOES NOT allow a student to register in a closed or full course section, it only moves them to the top of the waitlist. This override stops functioning on the first day of a term.

ADVISOR MENU

The Advisor Menu option on the Faculty and Advisors menu provides links to advising related functions available to faculty members on the web.

  • Faculty and Advisor Security Information
  • Degree Evaluation

The ID of the student that is entered directly does not have to be for a student in one of the faculty member's courses. Since the student's ID does not display on any of the web pages, the faculty member must already know the student's ID number.

Degree Evaluation

Degree Evaluation is a tool used by both students and advisors to audit course work against degree requirements. Students and advisors can obtain quick and accurate information that shows just where the student is on the path to completing their degree. You can access DegreeWorks to initiate a degree evaluation, view results, print evaluation reports, or run a "What-If-Analysis" to generate an evaluation showing what requirements have been met and what courses need to be taken if the student were to change their degree program from Banner Self-Service.

Information on how to run a degree evaluation can be found at https://www.sou.edu/enrollment/degreeworks/index.html
