Class Lists and Student Information

Faculty can access class lists and student information by logging into Webcat and selecting the Faculty Services tab.

  • Class lists are only accessible to the instructor(s) officially assigned to the course.
  • Student information is limited to those registered in the faculty member's course or listed as an assigned advisee.
  • If additional student data is needed beyond what Webcat provides, faculty may request access to the BANNER Student Information system.
  • Remember that student data is protected under FERPA

 

Major/Program Declaration or Changes

Students initiate major or program change requests through Webcat. After a request is submitted, it is routed to the incoming academic department designee(s) for review and approval. If the department approves the request, it then moves to the Dean's Office of the incoming college for final approval. 

If a department needs to update or change the designated reviewer(s), contact Registrar.Records@unh.edu. 

 

Minor Declaration or Changes

Students may declare up to two minors through Webcat. No departmental or advisor approval is required for a student to declare a minor; the declaration is processed automatically upon submission. Students must declare a minor by the end of the junior year and prior to applying to graduate. 

 

Registration Override

A registration override is special permission granted by an academic department that allows registration for a course the student is otherwise restricted from due to prerequisites, class capacity, major restrictions, or other enrollment limits. Registration overrides may only be granted by the Primary Instructor of the course and must be entered before the student can register in Webcat.

Final Grades

Submitting Final Grades

Note: All grades do not need to be entered into the Webcat final grade worksheet at one time. Submit grades frequently, and return at any time through the deadline.

Changes to grades may be made in Webcat up until the deadline for submitting final grades. No special grade report is required for the changes. However, if a student's grades have rolled to academic history, a final grade change is then required to update a grade.
