myOswego Guide for Faculty Services

Login to myOswego

1. You must be an active faculty member, an advisor or staff person at SUNY Oswego to activate faculty services on your account. After completion of myOswego Faculty Account Form with the Register's Office, a PIN will be emailed to your Oswego email account.

2. Using your web browser (AOL is not supported) connect to myOswego with the address myoswego.oswego.edu or simply myOswego when using any computer on campus.

3. Click SIGN IN

4. Enter Your ID (800)

5. Enter your PIN (case sensitive)

6. Click Login

7. LOGGING OFF – Please use the EXIT button found on each form in the upper right corner to ensure you have totally exited from your session.

Signing in for the first time

1. You will be required to change your PIN. It must be six-character, is case sensitive, and can be alphanumeric. Enter your original PIN, then enter your new PIN twice and click Submit.

2. You must supply a security question. At the prompt, type in a question and an answer, something that you can easily remember, but also something that is not widely known, for example using your pet's name would not be a good choice because many people would know the answer but your grandmother's maiden name would be better because it is not common knowledge. You will use this question and answer to reset your PIN if you forget it.

Change your PIN

(This is recommended at any time you feel the need to enhance the security of your records.)

• Enter the Personal Information Menu

• Choose Change PIN

• Enter your current PIN followed by your new PIN twice as indicated on the Form (six characters alphanumeric, case sensitive)

• Click the Change PIN button – You will automatically be sent back to the Personal Information Menu after the PIN is changed successfully.

Overrides- Electronic Course Permission Forms

• Enter “Faculty Services” • Select ‘REGISTRATION OVERRIDES’

• Select the appropriate term

• Enter Advisee’s ID or name and submit

• Select the appropriate override. Closed = closed course Class / Year = class standing override (e.g. sophomore into a junior class) Special Approval = instructor’s permission required

• Select the class you wish the student to be able to register for and submit

• Verify the correct information and click ‘Commit Changes’

• Instruct the student to use their myOswego account to register for the class. Note: This process allows the student to register on the web. It does not register the student.

Final Grades

• Select the appropriate term

• Select a class from the drop down menu. All of your classes are listed by CRN with the course title. Please be sure to grade every course.

• Classes are grouped in batches of 50 students, shown at the top of the student list. When you have more than 50 students in a class you will need to click on “Current Record Set: 51-xxx” to enter grades for the next batch, then 101-xxx and so on, until all students in the class have a grade. Remember to submit at the end of each batch.

• Return to main faculty menu to select the next course you need to grade.

• Repeat the complete process until all your grades are submitted. ALL students must have a grade.

HELP Screens * “HELP” instruction is available on all pages. * “HELP” has in-depth information on many functions like signing in or changing your PIN. * When entering final grades, “HELP” will explain grading exceptions step by step.
