Student's Quick Guide to the Campus GradeBook

Your grades will be available on UIUC GradeBook. There is documentation on the use of Campus GradeBook on the web at:

Information on the use of GradeBook by students and a tutorial are available on the web at:

You must know your Network ID and password (the one you use for UIDirect).
You have to be on the roster for at least one class that is set up to use the Campus GradeBook. (If your instructor says your class is using the Campus GradeBook, and you still don't see any gradebooks, please contact your instructor.)
You should be familiar with navigating within an application using a graphical user interface in a windowing environment, such as in Windows or on a Macintosh.
You need a network connection and a Windows or Macintosh Campus GradeBook client application. These are available at Instructional Computing Sites in the PC Apps/Network Services folder. (They might also be available on your department's computers; ask your instructor, or contact your department's computing services staff.)
You can download and setup the GradeBook client on your own PC if you have a connection to a UIUC registered IP address.

Keep your password secret. Do NOT give it to anyone! It is the way several computer systems (including the terminal servers and UIDirect) identify you. If anyone else knows your password, they can pretend to be you, then access and change any records you can.
Quit the application when you're done to keep others from looking at your scores. Although there is an idle-timeout, make sure the Campus GradeBook is no longer running before you leave.

1. To log in, enter your Network ID and password. (There is a one-minute timer.) You will be shown a list of Campus GradeBooks that are available to you.
2. Open the class gradebook in which you want to check your scores. You will be shown a table of available scores.
3. If more detailed information is available about a score, selecting it will enable the Table and/or Distribution buttons. Clicking the Distribution button shows the distribution of scores in the class. Clicking the Table button reveals the scores that make up the selected score. For example, if Quizzes consists of 5 quizzes, Quiz 1 through Quiz 5 could be shown.
4. To quit the Campus GradeBook, choose Quit (or Exit) from the GradeBook menu.

Instructors decide what information to show students. For some scores, the distribution might not be available. Or, the scores making up a sum could be unavailable. Other scores might be hidden altogether.
Online help is available through the Help menu. In addition, a HELP button is available in most windows to give you information about that window.

Other students can't see your scores, except as part of anonymous distributions.
Network traffic is encrypted.
If you choose to print your scores, be sure you know where the printer is located.
