Course rosters

Instructors who have completed FERPA certification can download course rosters using myPurdue. Instructors whose FERPA certification is not current can renew their certification. Graders should request their instructors to download course rosters on their behalf and send them using Filelocker. (For details about how to use Filelocker read Policies for handling sensitive and restricted data.) Alternatively, some graders may be asked by their instructors to store grades on Blackboard Grade Center.

Since course rosters contain sensitive data (e.g. PUID) they must be handled according to university regulations. Storing course roster information on a laptop, mobile device, or data storage device is not advised. Instead this information should be stored in your Purdue career account home directory. (For details about how to connect to you career account home directory read Policies for handling sensitive and restricted data.)
