Information for Faculty
IWCC requires that all instructors submit Student Progress Reports for each course during the 5th and 10th week of each semester. Instructors will no longer submit mid-terms, even though the Progress Reports use the same SOS system and grading codes. Deadlines are published in the IWCC News and faculty are notified a few weeks prior to when the Progress Reports are due. The following are instructions for completing a Student Progress Report:
- Go to the SOS website and click the Log In link in the upper right corner.
- Log in using the same username and password that you use to access SAIL, access IWCC email, and log into campus computers.
- After logging in, click on Faculty Menu and then Grading.
- Select the appropriate Term from the drop-down list and click Submit (be sure to leave the start and end date fields blank).
- Select Progress Reports from the drop-down list and then check the box next to one of your courses for which you would like to submit the Progress Reports. Click Submit.
- Enter the appropriate Progress Report “code” next to each student’s name on the roster. Remember, Progress Reports are not letter grades, rather they are a warning to the student that he/she is currently failing (or nearly failing) the course. If a student falls into “unsatisfactory” status, you must choose a reason for their unsatisfactory performance using the coding system provided on the screen.
Detailed instructions are located HERE.
IMPORTANT: When submitting Progress Reports during the 5th week, enter the code under the GR 1 column. For the Progress Reports submitted during the 10th week, enter the code under the GR 2 column.
