1.3. Operational Setting

There are two operational settings for the Grader: on Cal Poly campus for the CSC department, and to a lesser extent on the internet for students to check their grades.

The instructors at Cal Poly use either personal or department computers to manage grade books. Students currently use the Cal Poly website to view their grades.Prior to the installation of the Grader Cal Poly University's are connected to Student Information Services (SIS), which provide information about rosters and grades. The roster is updates at weeks 3 and 5 of a quarter the instructor turns grades into SIS at the end of the quarter. These grades are then uploaded to the departments server.

The Grader is used for student viewing and incorporates SIS into obtaining and reporting grades and student information. SIS provides roster information and is the site to which final grades are posted at the end of the quarter.
