Faculty and staff advisors have important roles as LINK Student and Academic (STAC) goes “live” this month
As more Banner modules are rolled out, students, faculty and advisors will be able to accomplish needed tasks and access required information for student success at UNM. They will access the information through “LoboWeb.”
LoboWeb is a web interface used by advisors, faculty and students to access various types of information, such as:
· Advisors will use the systems to perform such tasks as updating student programs, minors, and load limits, and adding comments to student records.
· In coming weeks, students will be able to pre-register for classes and to monitor and plan their academic progress. Students can already browse the Fall Schedule of Classes and the online course descriptions by using LoboWeb.
· Faculty will view class lists, class calendars, active teaching assignments, and submit Fall 2006 grades.
Permissions for using secure LoboWeb and STAC modules are defined by the work a faculty or staff member does.
All faculty and staff who will be using LoboWeb must complete “Securing Private Data,” a computer-based training (CBT) program. The training is available at: Secure Private Date Training.
1. Log in with your UNM NetID and password.
2. Select Browse Catalog from the right side.
3. Select Banner General from the left-hand column.
4. Scroll down the list of courses to Securing Private Data, and follow the directions for completing the course.
Students will use LoboWeb (online) and LoboPhone (telephone) for fall class registration and general student functions (admissions, recruiting, accounts receivable, internal and other special functions and processes).
Summer 2006 class registration will take place as before, through I-TEL-UNM (SSN and PIN.
Both registration processes are available from the Portal’s Student Life tab at https://my.unm.edu. Self-help (FastInfo, written instructions, etc.) will be available for the new process for fall registration.
Faculty will need to use their NetID and Password to access LoboWeb functions such as viewing class lists, class calendars, and active teaching assignments, entering Fall 2006 grades, and performing registration overrides. Advisors will need NetIDs to view and update student information, perform degree audits, and add comments to student records.
More functions will become available online as LINK implementations continue during the coming months. Student accounts receivable is scheduled to go live in July and academic history functions in December 2006. A time line for LINK implementations and “go live” dates is available in PDF format at http://link.unm.edu/Library_Documents/Visio-LINKTIMELINE.pdf.
Information about LoboWeb is updated regularly at countdown.unm.edu.
