Troubleshooting Steps

1. Check if the "Final Grade Entry" Link is Visible on TRUEmployee

   • If you do not see the link:

     • Faculty members often have both Student (TRU ID) and Employee (Staff Username) accounts.

     • Make sure you are logging in with your Staff Username (not your TRU ID). The TRU ID is for students, while the Staff Username is required for faculty access.

     • After confirming this, check again for the Final Grade Entry link.

2. Still Not Seeing the Link?

   • This could be an account setup issue.

     • Verify Faculty Status:
       Faculty accounts need a specific setup in the university’s systems. If you suspect your account isn’t set up correctly:

       • Reach out to Payroll at payroll@tru.ca.

       • Ask them to confirm that your account is set up as a Faculty member in the university’s system.

       • Once Payroll resolves the issue, check if the Final Grade Entry link appears in your portal.

3. Final Grade Link Still Missing?

   • Even after Payroll confirms your setup, if you still can’t see the link:

     • Ensure your browser cache is cleared.

     • If the problem persists, submit a support ticket for account assistance. This may be a technical issue with the system.

4. Can You See Your Courses in the Final Grade Entry System?

   • If No:

     • This indicates a setup issue with your courses in BANNER.

     • Submit a ticket to RO-Systems (Registrar’s Office) by calling 250-828-5000. They handle all faculty/course-related setups.

   • If Yes, but the class list is missing when you click on a course:

     • Scroll down within the system — the class list typically appears below the course selection area.

5. Everything Working? Great Success!

   • Once resolved, you should be able to enter and submit your grades without issues.

Key Points to Understand

• How Access Is Set Up for Final Grade Entry:

  1. Payroll configures your Faculty account in BANNER.

  3. The TRUEmployee portal relies on these roles to show faculty-specific content, including the Final Grade Entry system.

  4. Course and class list setups are managed by the Registrar’s Office (RO-Systems) in BANNER.

• Who to Contact:

  • Payroll: Issues with your faculty setup in BANNER. Reach out at payroll@tru.ca.

  • RO-Systems: Problems related to courses or class lists. Contact the Registrar’s Office at 250-828-5000.
