With the introduction of Banner, the method to view Course Rosters and manage Student Email Lists has changed.
1. Click the Banner Self-Service Login (also in the Sentry Software Applications group). After log in, you will be presented with this screen:
2. Select the Faculty Class Roster option
3. From the Class Roster (CRN Listing) screen, select the appropriate Term (top left), and your courses for the selected Term will be displayed (example below):
4. Mouse click on the subject field of the course you want to work with / view the details of.
5. This will display the Class List page, for the selected class, which includes the enrolled student list information:
Emailing students from the Class List page
Two different options exist to email some of all the the students in a given class. This replaces the creation of custom Gmail groups for class lists.
1. You can move your mouse over a student's name (student name column) and their email address will be displayed. Mouse clicking the email address will open your Gmail with a new message addressed to the student.
2. Using the checkboxes on the far left of the student list, you can click the top checkbox in the header to select all students, or click the checkboxes next to desired students name to select individual students (refer to the red arrow).
- Then mouse click the 'envelope icon' on the top of the student list, right side of the screen 
- This will open a new message in Gmail with the selected student(s) email addresses listed.
- Note that the down arrow/icon to the right of the envelope icon is used to control the display of the fields associated with the student list. You can also mouse click the CRN field (top left) to view additional course details including the meeting time, building and room.
Using this method of student roster email management is similar to use of a custom Gmail group, and the student list (roster) will always be up-to-date.
- If Gmail does not automatically open when clicking the 'envelope icon' (email), please refer to these instructions to associate the icon to Gmail and/or contact the IT Help Desk for assistance (help@rmu.edu or 412-397-2211).
If desired, you can also create 'static' contact lists in Gmail, which are similar to a custom Gmail group. This is done from within Gmail, click on the 9 dot square icon (upper right), then select 'Contacts'. You will then click the '+ Create Contact' button on the upper left and follow the prompts. However, this type of contact list is static, and does not automatically change if your class list changes.
