Populi for Faculty

General information for faculty training on Populi

Roster Screen

Roster Basics

The Roster lists all the students associated with the course section together with some basic enrollment information (credits/hours, attendance, etc.).

  • Students shows those who are registered in the course (including enrolled, auditing, withdrawn, and incomplete students).
  • Waiting List shows those waiting to be enrolled in the course if the maximum enrollment number has already been met.
  • Click the student's name to go to their course summary, which collects assignment, attendance, and other data about how the student is performing in that course.
  • Status shows the students' enrollment status.
  • P/F indicates whether the student is taking this course as Pass/Fail, if applicable.
  • Attendance and Grade summarize the student's performance in the course. Please note that the grade default is F, until grades are added.
  • Roster Notes are general comments and notes about individual students. They are visible to Academic Admins, Registrars, and course Faculty and Teaching Assistants. They are not visible to students. These notes will be available to faculty when determining the student's final grade.

Emailing any individual student

To email an individual student:

  1. Go to their profile; you can do this by clicking their name wherever you see it (say, on the Roster) or by entering their name in the search bar
  2. Under their picture, click Send Email.

You can do this for any of your current students. However, if a student is not enrolled in or auditing one of your courses, you can only email him if his email address is set to Public.
