4. Select a year, or faculty member from the lists shown.
5. Roll your mouse over the desired course (or year and course for a specific faculty member) and click.

Printing the Class List…

• To print the class list directly, you can use the Print function on your web browser or use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+P on Windows or Command+P on Mac.
• To save (and print) the class list, you can select the Download link on the left side of the screen and select the columns that you want to download into one of several different formats, then save and/or print from that software.

1. To email individual students in a class or advisee list:
   • Select the checkbox to the left of the name of each student you want to email.
   • Click on E-mail Selected under Options on the left.
2. To email all students in a list:
   • Select the checkbox on the column heading to select all the students in the list.
   • Click on E-mail Selected under Options on the left.

Note: Self-Service does not keep any history of emails sent to students or advisees. We recommend that you add yourself to the recipients list or copy the recipients from the ‘To’ field and paste them into a new message in BishopMail. Either way will give you a copy of the message in BishopApps in case you need to reference it later.

1. Log into OWU Self-Service and click on the Advising tab.
2. To view your advisee’s Cart selections, click the Manage Advisees link on the bar below the tabs.
   1. To view all advisees, simply click on the search button at the bottom of the window. You can increase the results per page by using the drop down on the upper right hand side of the screen.
   2. To search for a specific student, you may use the search tools available.
   3. Click on the name of the student and select schedule.
   4. On the left side of the screen click on Text, change the Period to the current registration term (your advisee must have courses in his or her cart for the registration term option to appear), check the Courses in Cart and Waitlisted Courses boxes, and click on submit. This will allow you to see all courses in the student’s cart as well as those currently on a waitlist.
   5. You now have the ability to make changes to the students cart so you can make adjustments on the spot during your advising meeting.
   6. It is recommended that you print a copy of the student’s approved Cart selections and keep it in the advising file. This is meant to protect the advisor should the student make unadvisable changes during registration.
3. To authorize the student for registration, click the Authorize Registration link on the bar below the tabs. Note: Please authorize students even if they are on a Stop List or what we used to call a “Hold”. They are unable to register with the hold but do have the ability to place courses in their cart. Once the hold has been addressed, the student will be permitted to register.
4. To view all advisees, simply click on the search button at the bottom of the window. You can increase the results per page by using the drop down on the upper right hand side of the screen.
5. To search for a specific student, you may use the search tools available. Make sure My Advisees is selected in the List drop down menu to the right.
6. This will open an Authorize Registration screen.
7. IMPORTANT: Select the registration term tab at the top of the window, otherwise you may be authorizing the student to register for the wrong semester. (This is especially important in the spring, as it puts Summer before Fall.)
   
8. Place a check mark in the FULL box for your student. We are no longer using the M1 and M2 modules.
9. IMPORTANT: Be sure to click on the Save button prior to exiting the screen. If you do not click on Save, the student will not be authorized to register.

1. Log into OWU Self-Service and click on the Classes tab.
2. Click the Enrollment link on the bar below the tabs.
3. Select Waitlist from the menu on the left side of the screen. The title of the page should now read Enrollment – Waitlist.
4. Click on Select Course just below the words Enrollment – Waitlist.
5. Hover your mouse over the registration term (year/term) and your list of courses will appear off to the right. Click on the course you would like to review. You may also use the menu beneath the Select Course option to navigate to your course.
6. Only those students on the waitlist will appear in the new window.
7. Students are listed in date order; however, you can select which student you would like to add. This allows for senior preference or special circumstances.
8. To offer a student the available seat, change the Status from Waiting to Pending in the drop down menu and hit save. Changes will not be saved if you exit prior to saving. This does not automatically add the student to your class. The student must accept the waitlist offer before he or she will appear on your roster.
   Note: If your class is full, contact the registrar’s office to increase your course limit prior to adding a student from the waitlist. Waitlist offerings cannot exceed the capacity for the course.
9. The student will have 48 hours to accept the pending course and add it to their schedule. If they do not respond before the deadline, the course is available for the next student on the waitlist. If the student’s registration portal is closed, the student will not be able to register for the course until it reopens. Keep this and the 48-hour restriction in mind when setting a student’s status to pending.
   Note: Students received instructions on the use of the waitlist and the 48-hour turnaround. An e-mail notification will go out to the student and the instructor when the offer is made. This process runs once per hour.
10. The system updates the registration totals and class roster once the student accepts the seat and proceeds through the registration process to add the course. The student must meet all prerequisite requirements to register.

Myth #1: The system will automatically assign the next person on the wait list if a seat becomes available.

Fact: The system will not assign the first person on the wait list. The only way a student on the wait list can add the course is if the professor sets the student’s wait list status to Pending in Self-Service. Faculty members can award the seat to any student on the wait list. Click here for detailed instructions on Wait List Management.

Myth #2: If a seat becomes available, the system will allow a student not on the wait list to “swoop in” and take the open seat.

Fact: Self-Service will not allow a student to fill an open seat until the wait list is exhausted. If there is one student on the wait list and one seat becomes available, the system will not allow anyone but the student on the wait list to register and that is only if the instructor set the student to Pending. If there are two seats available and one student on the wait list the system will allow one random student to register. If you keep a paper wait list, any student can take an open seat the moment it becomes available in self-service.

Myth #3: If a class is full but the professor wants to add a student from the wait list, s/he can do that by setting the student’s status to Pending and telling him or her to register.

Fact: The system will not allow a faculty member to over load a course above the set cap. To add a student over the cap, contact the Registrar’s Office and request an increase.

Myth #4: Once a faculty member sets a student on the wait list to Pending, the student is automatically registered.

Fact: Students must self-register within 48 hours of being set to Pending.

Myth #5: Students have an indefinite amount of time to add a course after the faculty member sets their status to Pending.

Fact: Students have 48 hours to register after they are set to Pending in self-service. If a student does not accept the Pending course, move on to the next student on the list.

Myth #6: Students can register for a Pending course even if their portal is closed.

Fact: Students cannot register for a course if their portal is closed even if it is a wait listed course set to pending. Keep this timing in mind when approving students from the wait list.

1. Log into OWU Self-Service at campus.owu.edu and click on the Classes tab.

2. Click the Enrollment link on the bar below the tabs.

3. Select Permission Requests from the menu on the left side of the screen. The title of the page should now read Enrollment – Permission Requests.

4. Click on Select Course just below the words Enrollment – Permission Requests.

5. Hover your mouse over registration term and your list of courses will appear off to the right. Click on the course you would like to review. You may also use the menu beneath the Select Course option to navigate to your course.

6. Only those students requesting permission will appear in the new window.

7. Choose Approved or Denied, whichever is appropriate, from the Status drop down menu and hit save. Changes will not be saved if you exit prior to saving.

Note: You can change the view from View All to, Approved, Denied, or Waiting using the Select Status drop down menu located in the upper middle of the window next to the course name. This makes it easier to find those students waiting for approval.

8. The system updates the registration totals and class roster upon your approval unless the student’s registration portal is closed. If the automatic update does not occur, the student will need to register for the course when the portal is again available to the student.

Tips: The registration window does not need to be open for you to give a student permission to enter a class.

The “My Grade” column has drop-down buttons for each student row and is where the grade should be entered. “P” and “U” for Passing and Unsatisfactory are near the bottom of that list.Please do not use “S” for a passing midterm grade. This is a final grade for an S/U course only. Appropriate midterm estimate grades are as follow:
   PASSING
   Use one of these mid-semester grade estimates if the student has a current grade of C- or higher.P current grade of C- or higherPN current grade of C- or higher and has stopped attending or is not engagedUNSATISFACTORY
   Use one of these mid-semester grade estimates if the student has a current grade below C-.

   U current grade of D+ or lower

   UN current grade of D+ or lower and is not attending or is not engaged

   NO BASIS FOR EVALUATION
   Use one of these mid-semester grade estimates if the course does not have sufficient graded or evaluated work available at this time for you to have a basis for evaluation of the students in the course.

   Q no basis for evaluation

   QN no basis for evaluation and student is not attending or is not engaged

   NOT ATTENDING
   Use this mid-semester grade estimate when a student is listed as registered for your course but has never attended. Think of this as a registration error.

   NOTE: Both midterm and final grading portals are now open. Be sure you are entering final grades for first module courses and midterm grades for full module courses.

6. Select grades from the drop-down lists for each student (you may use the keyboard to tab from field to field) and click the Submit Midterm button at the bottom of the list once you have finished entering all grades. NOTE: if you will be submitting comments for a grade, you must enter comments first by clicking on the button to the left of the student’s name and selecting Midterm Comments. Be sure to begin your comment with the letter grade you are commenting on, such as “U – didn’t take midterm exam”. This allows the registrar’s office to query your comments for probation and dismissal purposes.
7. You may also save grades in the My Grade column before submitting them by clicking the Save button at the bottom of the list. This allows you to partially enter grades and then return to finish them later. You may also add grade comments or make changes at this point.

See separate instructions for awarding writing option credit. If you do not feel a student earned the auto-generated grade for a writing course, please email this change to the Registrar’s Office. A team member will change the grade from an S to a U. Please note, this U does not send the student to the Writing Center. To send a student to the Writing Center, please see the note listed below. Note: If you will be submitting a D or F grade or a U for the writing center, you must enter comments first by clicking on the button to the left of the student’s name and selecting Final Comments. (Students are no longer able to view comments.) Be sure to begin your comment with the letter grade you are commenting on, such as “D Didn’t take final exam” or “U Needs assistance with paragraph structure”. This allows the registrar’s office to query your comments for probation and dismissal purposes.
7. You may also save grades in the My Grade column before submitting them by clicking the Save button at the bottom of the list. Be sure to submit grades once you have finished as saving does not import them into the database.
8. You will then see the grade you have submitted has moved from the My Grade column to the Actual Grade column. You may then move to another course by starting over at step #2.

If you submit an incorrect grade or accidentally submit a grade that you should have commented on, you may make changes by clicking on the actual grade. A Change Grade window appears where you may change the grade and/or enter a comment. You will need to select a reason for making the change from the drop down to activate the process.
