Step 1
Go to https://wserve.tntech.edu/afhomepg1.htm
in your web browser. Click on "Click here to enter."
Enter your Faculty ID and PIN number and click on the "Login"
button. Your ID is your social security number, and your
PIN is a six-digit number assigned by the Records Office.
You may change it after logging in by clicking on "Change
PIN."
Select the term for which you would like to submit grades.
Step 2
From the General Services menu, click on "Faculty Services."
From the Faculty Services menu click on "Grade Courses."
Select the course you would like to grade. Note: At
the beginning of every semester check that all of your classes
are listed here. Report any discrepancies to the Dept. Chair
or the Dept. secretary.
Step 3
Enter grades by clicking in the box under Final Grade column.
You may grade one, several, or all of the students by clicking
the submit button after entering the grade(s). Note:
You must click the submit button at least once every 15 minutes
in order to preserve your login.
Press the tab key to move from student to student, or use your
mouse to click on the grade box for the student.
If a student has a grade trype of WD and the grade in the Final
Grade on Record column is blank, enter either a grade of W or
WF. If the grade of W is already assigned, you do not
have to enter a grade because the student dropped during the
time to receive an automatic W grade.
If you believe that a student should be showing as withdrawn
but is not, you must give a grade for the work completed (often
an F). Enter the date the student last attended your class
in the LDA column.
When you have finished entering your grades, click "Submit"
at the bottom of the page.
Step 4
After submitting grades, always check the message column to
determine if the grades you submitted were accepted by the computer.
The grades you submitted will show on the web page as posted
to the students' records. If a grade was not posted, there will
be an explanatory message in the message column, explaining
why the grade was not posted.
The acceptability of a grade is determined by the student's
grade type. For example, grades of (W) Withdrew are not acceptable
for students with a normal grade type, which indicates standard
A-F grading. If you have questions about the acceptable
entries for a particular grade type, please refer to the List
of Valid Grades link on the first page of Web for Faculty.
Step
5
If a grade entry is not accepted, you may enter a new grade and
click submit again.
If you would like to delete a grade, enter an asterisk (*)
in the grade box and click Submit.
If you would like to change a grade entry, enter the new grade
in the grade box and click Submit.
During the grading period, you may use Web for Faculty to change
or delete the grades you have entered without filing a Change
of Grade form. However, please note that once you have
entered grades on the web, they may be viewed immediately by
students through Web for Students. To avoid confusion,
please minimize grade changes.
To grade another course, click on "Grade Courses"
at the bottom of the screen and then select the course.
Repeat steps 3 through 5.
When you are finished grading, be sure to EXIT Web for Faculty
by clicking on the "Exit" button. Then exit
your browser completely so that the next person using the computer
cannot click on the Back button and access the data you have
just viewed.
Graduating Student
Grades
Graduating students are indicated on your grade
roster with a "Yes" in the Graduating Senior box to
the right of the screen. These grades are due by 10:00
am the Friday prior to graduation. This feature is used
for both undergraduate and graduate students who are graduating.
Missing Students
on your Roster?
If a student does not appear on your Grade Courses
web page or the Class List web page, that student is not registered
for your course. Your Grade Roster is a live view of the
Student Information System, so it is always up to date.
Inquiries about student enrollment should be directed to the
Student Records Office in Derryberry Hall, Room 102 or by calling
372-3317.

Entering Last Dates of Attendance
Federal Guidelines require the university to report
the last date a student attended class. You can determine
this date based on one or more of the following routinely monitored
events such as class attendance rosters or assignments or exams,
etc. If the student has never attended your class, enter
the first day of registration for that semester as the LDA.
Follow steps 1 through 2 above and enter the date
of last attendance in the LDA column.
If a student begins attending class again, be sure
to remove the LDA date in WFF by entering an asterisk (*) in the
LDA column.
Click on the Submit button at the bottom of the
page.
Just before midterm, enter the LDAs for all of your
classes and then again just before the last day of class.
Electronic enrollment data is sent out to various lenders and
government agencies after midterm and the last day of class.
When Do I Enter Last
Dates of Attendance?
Enter LDAs as soon as you are aware that a
student has stopped attending, but always by the time period indicated
below:
1st LDA entry
Prior to Midterm
2nd LDA entry
Last Day of Class
