Last Update: R. Hill, 8 October 2007
The course materials component of WyoWeb is in the "My Courses" channel (not Faculty Dashboard or Self-Service Banner). In that channel, click on the Fall 2006 (or current semester) link to see a list of your course websites. Click on the name of the course for its homepage. Unless you have reset the link, this will be a Course Studio homepage. In the Content Tools on the left side, use "Manage Files" to reach the file space, and then the "Add New File" section to designate and upload your syllabus from your own system. Your students will find it when they click on "Files" in the Course Tools section.
To learn more about how to set up Course Studio, the default type of course shell provided, come to a workshop or see the "How To Set Up Course Studio" document.
When you log into WyoWeb, you should be able to e-mail your class using either the e-mail link (envelope icon) in the Faculty Dashboard, or the class listing in "My Courses."
The default configuration should handle Windows
users in Internet Explorer, but others may have trouble. Even under
Windows, if Outlook is your standard e-mail program, you will have to configure
it to allow commas in addition to semicolons for the recipient list:
Tools --> Options --> E-Mail Options --> Advanced E-Mail Options -->
Allow comma as address separator (checkbox near bottom of page).
If you are not using Outlook, you may need to set up your browser so that it runs your preferred e-mail client on the "mailto" link. For Firefox, for example, see below.
To configure Firefox, type "about:config" as the URL in the address field. You will see a long list of parameters and their values.
Make sure that network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to "true."
Enter a new string by right-clicking on the window.
First pop-up field-- Enter the parameter: network.protocol-handler.app.mailto
Second pop-up field: Enter the command that runs your e-mail client. That is, type in the fully-qualified name of the executable program that runs your e-mail on your computer, and any parameters required. Examples:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://exchange.uwyo.edu (appropriate on a Windows machine)
or, maybe...
/Applications/Mail (appropriate on a Mac running OS X; MS Entourage will not accept a comma delimiter )
or, maybe...
/usr/local/bin/pine (appropriate on a Linux computer using the quick and efficient Pine program)
Please come to Instructional Computing Services for help if this is too terse.
The replacement software is CAPP, in the Banner system. You may attend a workshops given by Lane Buchanan to find out more. Watch for announcements in WyoWeb, or contact either Shawnn or Ben in the Office of the Registrar at rr-service@uwyo.edu or 766-5272.
You want the screen entitled "Summary Class List," and you can find it in either from the Faculty Dashboard channel (Faculty tab) by clicking on the icon of people next to the class name, or in the Banner Self-Service Channel under the "Faculty and Advisors" menu. At the bottom of that screen, you will see a "Download" button, which will transfer to your computer system a comma-separated values file (".csv"), suitable for opening with a spreadsheet.
Click on the “Faculty” tab and look for the “Faculty Grade Assignment” channel in the upper right (or wherever you have moved it).
In the drop-down menu, within the Faculty Grade Assignment channel, select either "Midterm" or "Final" grades and click “Go.” You should then see a list of the courses for which you are the instructor of record. If you have more than four courses, click the "More" button at the bottom.
To begin assigning grades:
Click on the green or yellow triangle icon to the right of the course.
Enter the grades by either typing the correct grade in the grade box to the right of the student or by using the drop-down arrow to select the grade.
Click "Submit" at the bottom of the screen.
Select additional "Record Sets" to bring up more student records, if you have a large class. Submit each separately before moving on.
A grade of "I" (Incomplete) may be assigned, but must be followed by the Authorization of Incomplete form, obtained from the Office of the Registrar.
You may submit grades during different sessions. Once you have submitted grades, they are held in the system, to appear in those students' grades channels the following morning. If the grade roster is started, but not complete, the green triangle icon will change to a yellow triangle. If a student has withdrawn from your class and a midterm grade of W was not pre-loaded, the yellow triangle will remain.
Once grades for the entire class have been entered, the icon will change to a green checkmark in a yellow box. You are done, but students have not seen the grades, and changes can be made. Once the icon changes to a blue checkmark (only in courses for which any W grades have been pre-loaded), the grades have been posted to official student records.
And more, from Tammy Aagard, Interim Registrar:
What if I can't see all my
courses in the Faculty Grade Submission channel?
There is a
link at the bottom of the channel titled MORE. Click on that link and you
can access the remaining classes
What if I make a mistake?
If the drop-down box is
still active for that student, change the grade and press SUBMIT. If it is
not active, you will need to complete the Change of Grade form. An
electronic version of this form is available at the Office of the Registrar
website under the Faculty/Staff tab. You may also obtain a paper version
from the Office of the Registrar. If you submit this form by the grade
deadline, you will only need your signature.
If it is submitted after the deadline, all signatures will be required.
Can I submit grades for a partial roster?
Yes, you can submit as many as you have completed. If you have loaded
any grades, they will appear for those students when the Registrar rolls
those grades to the students’ transcripts . If not all grades are
posted, you may get questions from students who don't have grades while
their peers do.
For more help, call the Office of the Registrar at 307.766.5272 or stop by the office in the west wing of Knight Hall.

ex. John Rhys-Davis is the name of the

search a couple of different ways.
Last Name: %Davis%

This will return all of the students currently enrolled whose first name is John and their last name contains Davis. Examples could include John Davis, John Smith-Davis, John Davison, but you would also pull up John Rhys-Davis
Other examples:
