Information for instructors
Instructor of record
Departments that have not listed instructors for courses must update with faculty names as soon as possible so that faculty will have access to class rosters and general web information, and so that faculty and departments can be appropriately credited and funded for their instruction.
Departments should provide Della Hawes (dehawes@uncg.edu) with the full name and University ID of the faculty member so that the correct person is recorded as instructor of record.
Accessing the class roster
Faculty members may access their class rosters through UNCGenie as long as the faculty member is designated, in Banner, as the primary instructor of the course
Canvas Learning Management System
Instructors are advised that their rosters in Canvas represent the most recent upload of data from the Banner system. Instructors may not add a student to a roster in Canvas; it may be done only in Banner, which automatically populates into Canvas.
More information on using Canvas can be found here.

Confidentiality of student records
Class rosters and class grades should be loaded only by those listed as faculty of record or his or her administrative designee who is a permanent employee of the university. Under FERPA, student employees are not considered agents of the university unless they are employed to teach a course.
In that case, a Graduate Teaching Assistant, employed for the purpose of teaching, can be considered to have “legitimate educational interest” under FERPA, and can grade that course only. Grade loading by any other type of office employee is a violation of FERPA.
Do not post grades on your office door or nearby bulletin board using student ID numbers; this is illegal. Once grades are submitted they are loaded immediately, and are instantly available for students to view on UNCGenie.
Teaching Locations (Classrooms)
Classroom space is scarce due to increased enrollment and tight teaching schedules. Classroom assignments are now managed via the automated optimization process in Ad Astra (classroom scheduling tool). It is no longer feasible to accommodate preferences/special requests associated with classroom assignments. This is a much more efficient process which limits manual intervention and maximizes space utilization at the university level.
