Getting Started

faculty should go to my.evergreen.edu and login
Click on Gateway Home (this terminology will go away soon)
Select Faculty Information (See Figure 1)
Choose the term you want to work with (See Figure 2)
Select CRN for class from drop down list (See Figure 3)

Summary Class List

(See Figure 4) Use this page to view summary information for your course or program including:

Course Information
Enrollment counts
Summary listing of all enrolled students

Faculty Detail Schedule

provides summary of all CRNs associated with faculty (See Figure 5)
# of enrolled students
# of wait listed students

Emailing Students

From the Summary class list page you can send e-mail to an individual student and (at the very bottom) to the whole class.

navigate to Summary class listSummary class list
at the bottom of list click Email class
this will launch your local email client and populate the bcc field with all of the students preferred email addresses.

Note: this will not work with Outlook Webmail. If you create an e-mail to the whole list with this button, it puts the addresses into the BCC: line to send each student a blind carbon copy, which doesn’t show any other addresses. You put your own address in the To: line. Unfortunately, that also means students can’t send messages to everybody in a program by hitting Reply All with a message like this. Using a Lyris Mailing List is more appropriate for allowing students to email the entire class.

Registration Permits/Overrides

Choose Registration Overrides from the Faculty Services tab
the A# of students is "sticky" and will automatically display the last student selected
to change to a new student select ID Selection from the links at the bottom of the page
Enter the A# of the student for whom you'd like to set an override (See Figure 6)
select the type of override: campus, class, signature
choose the CRN (See Figure 7)
