Accessing Advisees’ Information
One of the most helpful functions in OnePort is having the opportunity to search for your advisees and view their academic information. You may review information on a particular student by selecting ‘Advisee Listing’ or Searching for a Student.
If you’re looking for a student who isn’t your advisee and isn’t enrolled in your class(es), follow the steps below:
- Log into OnePort
- Select the ‘Faculty’ tab
- Choose ‘Academic Services’
- Click “Continue” under Banner Services
- Choose ‘Faculty Services’
- Click “Term Selection” and choose the current term
- Choose ‘Student Search’
- Enter the student’s UNC Asheville ID number (the student must provide this number to you)
- Select the ‘All’ radial button (*this is important!)
- Confirm your selection. Everything you look at in OnePort will now be about this student until you search for and select another student.
OnePort also gives you access to view your current advisee listing, which includes your advisee Student ID number, contact information and Registration Access Number (RAN). How to view this information:
- Log into OnePort
- Select the ‘Faculty’ tab
- Choose ‘Academic Services’
- Click “continue” under Banner Services
- Choose ‘Faculty Services’
- Select “Advisee Listing”
- When prompted, choose the current term (this is important!)
GradPlan (Degree Audit Report)
GradPlan is available 24/7 for students and their advisors to run real time, on-demand degree audits for any of our academic majors. GradPlan charts the academic progress of students who have already declared their majors, while also allowing students who are undeclared the opportunity to run what-if scenarios to see the requirements for a prospective major, minor or program.
Just follow the steps listed below to begin:
- Log into OnePort and click the ‘GradPlan’ link under the left side, QuickLaunch menu
- Enter the Student ID and hit <Enter>, or click the “Find” icon to search for a specific student or group of students
- Click the “What if” link on the left side of the audit to run a “What if Analysis” for a major or minor they are considering.
Some important points about GradPlan:
Beyond indicating which requirements have been met, GradPlan also shows requirements that have been waived, courses that have been entered as substitutions for the purpose of fulfilling a requirement, and requirements that have been met by means other than a course (such as transfer credit or a placement exam score).
GradPlan is an advising tool; students are not cleared for graduation until they have submitted their Application for Graduation and the Office of the Registrar has verified a student’s completion of requirements.
If you have questions or concerns about GradPlan, send an email to academicsuccess@unca.edu.
Entering Registration Overrides
Online overrides allow you to grant permission to students who have any of the following registration conflicts into your classes:
- prerequisite
- co-requisite
- time conflicts
- class standing restrictions
- duplicate course (occurs when registering for more than one special topics course in the same semester)
- closed class (available when waitlists are turned off)
- permission of instructor
However, faculty cannot override link, repeat course, or maximum hour errors. These errors must be addressed in the Academic Success Center.
How to enter an online override for your classes in OnePort:
- Log into OnePort
- Select the ‘Self Service Banner’ tab
- Choose ‘Faculty Services’
- Choose ‘Registration Overrides’
- Select the semester > Submit
- Enter the Student Name or ID# > Submit
- Select the type of override and the course from the dropdown menu. You may need to enter multiple overrides (for example, if the class is full and the student has not taken the pre-requisite, you will need to enter both Closed Class and Pre-requisite overrides).
- Click the submit button twice to confirm the override. The student must now register for the class through OnePort.
Important Reminder:
Registering for a course which requires an online override is a two-step process. After the online override is entered into the registration system, students must register for the course either through OnePort or by meeting with an Academic Success Advisor. Entering an online override into Banner alone does not register a student for the course.
