Registration, Adding, Dropping
Q. Where can I find a student's PIN number?
A. Students' PIN numbers are located in the bottom righthand corner on screen 103.
Q. Can I give a student his/her PIN?
A. Look at the student's option on screen 119, flag 12. If the student is option 1 or 2, you can release the PIN. If the student is option 3, he/she must go to adviser or dean's office, depending on classification of course. Note: If the student is option 1 or 2, he/she can find his/her PIN on Student Central under "Registration Options."
Q. Can I add/drop an Interinstitutional course for a student?
A. No. Please direct that student to Hanes 105, Office of the University Registrar.
Q. Can I drop all of a student's classes?
A. No. The student needs to request an official withdrawal from the University of he/she is dropping all courses. Please refer the student to his/her academic dean's office.
Q. What do I do when a student's name is incorrect on blackboard.unc.edu or he or she isn't showing up on Blackboard even though he or she registered for the course?
A. Have the student contact the ITS Help Desk to submit a help request online. The student also may call the Help Desk at (919) 962-HELP (4357).

Scheduling
Q. How can I tell which department controls a certain classroom?
A. Check on screen 1C5. You will need to enter the two-letter building code and the four-digit room number to retrieve this information. Look in the "SCHEDULING DEPT" field. (If OUR is indicated, that means the room is a "General Purpose Classroom" and that the Office of the University Registrar regularly schedules that room). If the "SCHEDULING DEPT" field is blank, check the "SPECIAL SET-UP NOTES" for clues. If you are still uncertain, call the Scheduling department, 962-6093.
Q. How do include/exclude certain students for a class?
A. Use screen 143 to include/exclude students based on classification (FR, SO, etc.), college (AS, JO, etc.), or major (AMST, BIOA, etc.). Don't forget to set the R in the RESTR. FLAG field when you make this update.
Q. What is a crosslisted course?
Most often, courses are crosslisted when the subject matter being taught has direct benefit and application for students in more than one department/major. These courses are identified in departmental listings in the Undergraduate Bulletin. Each crosslisted course has a sponsor section that is responsible for assigning an instructor and securing a meeting day, time, and place, as well as nonsponsor sections. Students who want to attend the class must be able to register through one of the sections of the course.
Q. How can I tell if I am the sponsor of a crosslisted course?
A. If the instructor for the course is in your department, it is most likely that you are the sponsor section. You can also check on screen 129 for the previous semesters to see how the crosslisting responsibility was handled in the past.
Q. When I am crosslisting a course, which number in the MAX ENR field on screen 129 is mine?
A. The top number is the number of tickets for the course section listed in the CRS field at the top of the screen. The number next to CS (Combined Section) indicates the total number of tickets for all sections. The top and bottom number should be identical for the sponsor section until all the nonsponsor sections have linked to the course. After that, the sponsor section can update its MAX ENR (the top line) to indicate how many tickets are reserved just for those students registering through that particular section.

Q. What if I can't access my class rolls?

- Make sure you are selecting the correct semester on the pull down menu

Q. How do I use the Post/Maintain URLs and Course Descriptions feature?
A. Use this feature to add a URL and/or course description to a course section you are scheduled to teach. (You can enter up to two URLs for each course section.)
Follow these steps:
- Select the course section you want from the pull down menu.

If you are teaching a course section and it does not appear in the pull down menu, please see "What if I can't access my class rolls?" above.
Q. What's the difference between Faculty/Staff Central and SIS-C?
A. SIS-C stores and displays student and course data. Faculty/Staff Central offers another way of viewing this data. While SIS-C allows the user to update data and research records, it is not always easy to remember all of the codes and screens you might need to use. Faculty/Staff Central allows the user to view and print certain items (without having to do screen prints, as one would have to do in SIS-C), but only has a few update capabilities and does not allow the user to do thorough records research (for instance, it does not show a student's previous name if the student had a name change nor does it show the student's SSN).
If you need to access student or course data for viewing purposes only, we recommend Faculty/Staff Central. If you need to perform updates and research, we recommend SIS-C.
Q. Where can I see all the services available on Faculty/Staff Central?
A. Go to the Faculty/Staff Central Login Screen and select View/Request Services. You can also use this site to request more services.
