Security Pages
Full grading security access is automatically granted to the primary instructor. Primary instructors may delegate grading security access to other department officials.

There are three types of grading security access:
  1. POST access allows a person to view, enter, save, and post grades to the student's record.
  2. SAVE access allows a person to enter and save grades, as well as view the grade roster.
  3. VIEW ONLY access allows a person to view the grade roster.

Can I delegate grading access to anyone?
No, grading access can only be delegated to current University of Utah employees.

If I delegate grading access to a person this semester will they still have access next semester?
No, the delegating of grading access has to be done each semester

Will I always have security to the classes that I teach?
As long as you are listed as the Primary Instructor for the class, you will have full grading access.

I delegated grading security to my teaching assistant and I want to double-check the grades that were posted, how could I do this?
To check the grades that were submitted by one of your delegates, click on the View Grades link and enter the class information. The posted grades will be displayed along with who posted them and when.
