Axess
for Faculty: A User's Guide
 Welcome!
This
web site is designed to introduce you to Axess and provide
a step-by-step guide to grading, designating
a grading proxy, updating grades, managing
your class lists, and viewing your online
course evaluations.
Advisors will find instructions on how to monitor their advisees'
progress and place and remove holds.
Because
Axess is a fully web-based system, we believe you will
find it easy to use. We welcome your comments and suggestions
as we continue to fine tune Axess.
