The Class List is the official listing of those students who are officially registered in the course.  Class Lists are available online anytime through Web for Faculty. Simply login (see Web for Faculty section for detailed information) and go to Faculty > Class Lists.  The roster provided is up-to-the-minute and synchronized with live data from the Student Information System (SIS). Please verify the attendance in your class with the online roster. Any students not officially registered in the class should not be allowed to attend.  The add/drop period for the Spring 2008 semester ends January 29, 2008.  Any discrepancies after this date with your attendance and the online Class Lists should be reported to the Office of Student Records and Registration at faculty.help@iit.edu.

The Office of the Registrar, in cooperation with the Office of Technology Services maintains, an e-mail list-serve service for the faculty and students enrolled in the current semester. Faculty and students are able to contact those enrolled in a given course through a common email. E-mail is created for the course when the course is officially activated on the course schedule.

For specific instructions please go to registrar.iit.edu > Quick Links > Faculty & Staff Resources > Faculty/Student Course E-mail List-serves.

Please encourage your students to activate their IIT email address via the myIIT portal or forward the address to another email for usage. Students may find complete instructions on forwarding at the Office of Technology Services website, or for instructions on the new myIIT portal please click here.

We will continue to exclusively use the system for grading this semester and faculty will receive notices when the system is available for grading. For a list of all possible grades for undergraduate and graduate students go here.

Room assignments for the Spring 2008 have been completed.  However, you are encouraged to check the location of your courses prior to the start of classes due to changes to current assignments.  Should you wish to request a different classroom, please contact your departmental course scheduler to make the request.

Classroom and computer lab reservations for classes are assigned at the time of course scheduling.  Special requests for classrooms or special equipment should be made at the time of scheduling for the semester.

To request a change of a classroom after the course schedule has been finalized, please contact the appropriate departmental Scheduling Coordinator or Associate Chair.  Those faculty members or instructors who need to request special or additional space for their classes throughout the semester may contact the Office of the Registrar directly, or through our online reservation form.

A student who is scheduled to take three or more final exams in one day may ask his/her instructor(s) to revise his or her schedule to include no more than two exams on one day. All requests for rescheduling of exams must be made by March 7, 2008.
