Faculty Access Information
Faculty Access provides online course management tools, including rosters, fast messaging, consent request management, grade entry, and more.
Getting Access
Faculty gain access automatically once they are set up as a course instructor, and they log in using their CNetID and password. Department administrators submit course and instructor information to the Office of the University Registrar before each quarter. Keeping teaching plans up-to-date with your administrator is the best way to ensure you can log in to Faculty Access. Questions can be directed to department administrators or reg-courses@lists.uchicago.edu.
Support
Requests for classroom changes, make-up classes, or general support can be sent to reg-courses@lists.uchicago.edu. Academic Technology Solutions also provides services related to instructional technologies, classrooms, media support and production, and lecture capture.
