  • TERM CODES

Some screens ask for a Term Code, which identifies the semester about which you want to access information.  The Term Code is alway the four digit year/two digit term (i.e. Fall 2007 = "2007/FA")

For the 2007 - 2008 Academic Year, the term codes are as follows:

  • Fall 2007 = 2007/FA
  • Winter 2008 = 2008/WI
  • Spring 2008 = 2008/SP
  • Summer Session 1 2008 = 2008/S1
  • Summer Session 2 2008 = 2008/S2
  • Summer Session 3 2008 = 2008/S3
  • STUDENT LOOKUP
    • You can look up a student by name, Student ID number, or Social Security number. 
    • If you look up a student by name the Person Lookup Screen will appear.  The Student Lookup Screen will have a list of students with similar names to the one you have entered.  Choose the correct student by typing the number to the left of their name at the bottom of the screen. 
    • If you look up a student by thier ID number or Social Security number, you will go directly to the students record
