Why Was the Faculty Services Dashboard Launched?
Information Resources & Technology has been upgrading Self-Service Banner from version 8 to version 9 in phases. Now, we’re at the final step, which includes a new homepage with a more visual, modern layout.
Faculty Grade Entry, a new Banner 9 module, was launched in Self-Service Banner in fall 2018. The Faculty Services dashboard is tied to Faculty Grade Entry, so the new dashboard was also launched at the same time.
All applications and resources required by faculty are now available on the updated Faculty Services dashboard.
How Can I Access the Photo ID Class Lists?
From the Faculty Services dashboard, select Photo ID Class Lists.
How Do I Access the Class List and the Detailed Class List?
Please note that the instructions in this section refer to the vendor-provided Class Lists rosters. These are only available to the faculty to view their own class rosters. Many details, such as major, email, and student level, are missing from these lists. To view a more comprehensive version of class lists with major, email, and other useful details, please refer to this section. Class Lists Export to Excel.
To view your own Class Lists, from the Faculty Services dashboard, select Class Lists.
Toggle between the summary and the detailed view by selecting Summary View or the Detailed View from the menu on the right, as shown below.
How can I access Faculty Grade Entry (FGE)?

Why Can't I Access Midterm Grades Via Summary and Detailed Class Lists?
Although the Midterm column displays on the Summary and Detailed Class Lists page, the Enter Grade link defaults to the Final Grade field. The University does not require the official entry of mid-term grades in the student information system. Departments or faculty who wish to keep their own records of mid-term grades may do so utilizing their own tracking system or document.
Why Aren't Only My Current Sections Displaying in Final Grade Entry?
The new Faculty Grade Entry Banner 9 module will list all faculty members' sections, not just the current ones. However, the faculty members can search for the specific sections they want to grade by entering either the CRN, Course Title, Course Number, or Term Code. For example, if a faculty member only wants to view sections taught in the spring 2018 term, they would search by the Term Code “201820”. This will filter out any other sections and only list the spring 2018 sections.
Why Can't I See All of My Students in Final Grade Entry?
If the list of students in Final Grade Entry spans more than one page, use the navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen to navigate to other pages and display the remaining students.
Automated Enrollment Management Services
All reports under Automated Enrollment Management Services are converted to Cognos. The following article KB0014974 provides information on how to navigate within Banner 9, in order to choose the correct tab and tile to access the class list reports in Cognos.
NOTE: The link to the Cognos folder is available via the Enrollment Management Reports tile on the Faculty & Advisor tab.
The available reports are:
- Admit Comparative Tally
- Curriculum Tally
- New Admit Tally
- Email and Address Extraction
- Accepted or Deposited Report
- Class Lists Export to Microsoft Excel
- Praxis Scores by Student ID
IMPORTANT: For any Cognos-based report, a Rowan VPN or a virtual desktop is required when attempting to access it from outside the campus or Rowan network.
How Can Deans, Chairs, Advisors, and Administrative Staff View Class Lists?
Although the new Class Lists feature on the Banner 9 Faculty Services dashboard has many new and improved options, such as Student Preferred Names, only faculty with assigned sections can access them.
Deans, Chairs, Advisors, and administrative staff can use the Class Lists Export to Microsoft Excel Cognos reports, available on the Faculty Services dashboard, or under the 'Enrollment Management Reports' tile on the 'Faculty & Advisor' tab. This allows them to export class lists from sections they are not assigned to. All reports under 'Automated Enrollment Management Services' are converted to Cognos.
There are 4 versions of the report (see below). Please choose the one that works best for you.
- Select from all courses, all CRNs on a single tab (All Courses - Single Tab)
- Select from all courses, each CRN on a different tab (All Courses - Multi tab)
- Your own courses in a single tab (Courses That I’m Teaching - Single Tab)
- Your own courses, each on a different tab (Courses That I’m Teaching - Multi Tab)
The following article, Enrollment Management Reports, provides more information on the location of these Cognos-based reports, along with details for each version.
How Can I Email My Class List?
Faculty can email their class using the new Banner 9 Faculty Service dashboard. Please follow the steps located at Email Your Class List in Banner
The Wait List feature can be accessed from the Class Lists module available on the Faculty Services Dashboard.
After selecting the CRN, select the 'Wait List' tab next to the 'Class List' tab as shown below.
