PAWS - Class and Grade Rosters in the Faculty Center - Blank Roster

PAWS will sometimes default to a blank roster for no reason, and will always default to the blank roster the first time an instructor logs into PAWS to use their Faculty Center. This document will walk them through how to get to a Class or Grade Roster the first time. After that, it will default to the roster last viewed in PAWS.

This will work for a blank CLASS and GRADE Roster.

PLEASE NOTE IF YOU WERE EVER A STUDENT AT UWM:You will always see the Student Center when you log into PAWS. You will need to use the navigation menus to get to the Faculty Center. Go to Main Menu, Self Service, Faculty Center, Class or Grade Roster.

More information can be found at https://uwm.edu/registrar/faculty-staff-resources/instructor-grading/. 


Step 1: Log in to PAWS.

Step 5: Once the current term classes display (either after step 3 or 4), click the Class Roster or Grade Roster icon to get to the roster. 

NOTE: Grade Rosters do not get created until later in the term, and may not immediately be available. Class Rosters should be available as soon as an instructor is assigned and there are students enrolled.
