Introduction
In SIS, the term "instructor" can apply to a faculty instructor, adjunct instructor, teaching assistant, or grading proxy. Individuals are set up by the staff of the University Registrar and assigned one of three roles:
- Instructor - the instructor of record for the class; has Approve access to grades
- Teaching Assistant - a graduate student; has Grade access to grades
- Grading Proxy - a graduate student or department administrator or assistant; has Grade access to grades
Each of these roles has specific access to the grade roster where mid-semester and final grades are entered and approved. When an instructor is chosen for a class section, the Instructor Role and Access fields automatically populate. The Access field will contain one of the following:
- Approve - the instructor can enter and submit grades
- Grade - the instructor can enter grades, but not submit them
