109 STUDENT SCHEDULE
This screen has the student's
courses, days, times and locations. You will need to enter the student's
Social Security number and the term. (Related screens you could use are:
Screen VR2- displays the schedule including the TRS call numbers, and Screen
120 - displays the student's schedule in calendar format)
102 NAME SEARCH
Use this screen if you don't
know the student's Social Security number. Type as much of the student's
last name as possible in the SID field. If space allows, skip a space and
put in some of the student's first name. Press Enter.
Now you will see a list of students with that name. You can narrow the search even more by tabbing to the top and again typing the student's last name and entire first name. Press Enter.
Each student has a line number. You will see that your cursor is blinking on the line number field. Enter the line number for the student you want and press Enter. SIS will then display the student's information for the previous screen you were using.
NOTE: You can use any screen to do a name search - the system will automatically put you into screen 102 if you enter a name in the SID field. After you find the student you need, you will automatically be returned to the screen you were orginally using.
136 STUDENT TRANSCRIPT
The student's entire Appalachian
transcript is shown. When you type 136 and press Enter, you will
then need to type U (undergraduate) or G (graduate) in the Career field
to indicate which transcript you want. Keep pressing Enter to progress
through the semesters. The first screen shows entry data for the student.
If the student transferred to ASU, transfer credit will be shown. AP credit
is posted on the student's first semester.
Related screens you could use: GRD - displays the student's grades, by term. If you want to see only grades, this is faster. Keep pressing Enter to move through the data, term by term. Screen 143 - displays transfer credit. Use this if transfer credit is the only data you need to see.
DS1 SPECIAL DESIGNATORS
AND REPEATS
When you type DS1 in the
Screen field and press Enter you will see a screen that gives you
summary information about how many Special Designators a student has completed.
You can also find information about the student's repeated courses. More
information about how to use this screen is on the DS1
SCREEN page.
103 PERSONAL DATA
Displays the student's permanent
address, local address, telephone numbers, birthday, sex, ethnic group,
etc. Caution: some students aren't very good about keeping their local
address current. You can usually track them down by sending a note to their
ASU Box or sending them an e-mail message.
Screens you can use to get that information are: Screen 003, which displays address information and the ASU Box number (on the upper right) and Screen VR6, which displays the student's computer ID address for e-mail (on the lower left).
118 ACADEMIC STATISTICS
This is a quick way to get
information about a student without using the transcript. You will see

you can also see how many times the student has used a probationary pass
(each student is allowed 2).
