Beginning in the spring 2003 semester faculty will be responsible for printing their own class lists.  The Registrar's Office will no longer be responsible for distributing such lists.  The greatest advantage for faculty to pull their own class lists is accuracy.  Class lists provided by eLion are accurate as of the time lists are requested.  Faculty may choose from one of three options, view/print, downloading email addresses of currently enrolled students, and spread sheet view, which includes items such as name, social security number, campus of record, semester classification, registration status, audit status, graduation indicator, phone number, etc., and more closely mimics the paper copy of the class lists previously distributed from the Registrar's Office.

It is recommended that faculty review class lists at least three times during the semester.  Once immediately before the initial class meeting, once immediately after the drop/add period ends--10 days into the semester, and once immediately after the late drop deadline--12 weeks into the semester.

On-going training for the class list downloading procedure can be provided by Jean Lasinski.  Please call 949-5086 for additional information.
