New Web Attendance and Grading Procedures
Fall Semester 2009
- All rosters will include information concerning which students receive FA/VA benefits.
- Faculty will record attendance through the census date (10%) as is required by state law.
- Faculty will record a WN on the grading screen for those students who have NOT attended by the census (10%) date.
- Instructors are encouraged to take attendance for ALL students for the entire semester.
- Instructors may choose NOT to take attendance for all students, but MUST take attendance for FA/VA recipient students to meet federal guidelines for reporting purposes. For these instructors, names of the rest of the students will stay on the web attendance rosters; but the attendance blocks will disappear. Please be aware of FERPA issues in singling out some students if you are not taking attendance for all!
- After two weeks of nonattendance (at the discretion of the instructor), the instructor will go to the grading screen, and record a W. Two weeks is a guideline. Instructors are encouraged to share this information early in the semester with students. There will be exceptional circumstances and instructors will work with each student individually in those situations.
- Instructors are encouraged to post attendance on a weekly basis.

Entering “WN” grades in WebEmployee
(A Quick Reference Guide)
Within 48 hours after the census date (10% date) for a class, a “WN” grade must be posted to the grading screen in WebAdvisor for each student who does not attend class by the 10% census date.
Notice: Do not post any grades in WebAdvisor before the 10% census date because this will affect student refunds.
Instructions: (after the 10% census date for a class)
Note: You will be timed-out after 30 minutes on any screen. For security reasons, do not leave your computer unattended while using WebEmployee.
