FAQ’s for Adjunct access to Novell/GroupWise, Moodle,
BannerWeb, and Library

 
New Instructors Please Note: The Office of Academic Services will email 99#’s, Usernames and Passwords in late March/early April.
 
  99 Numbers  
Do I have a 99#?  
 

Your 99 number is your Smith College identification number and can be found on your OneCard if you have one.  If you do not know your 99#, please contact OAS at sswoas@smith.edu . New instructors will visit the OneCard Office once they arrive on campus for the summer to obtain a card. More OneCard information will be found in the “Almost Everything Guide” that will be sent to you via email at the end of April.

 
What does this 99# do for me?  
 

Your 99 number and password gives you access to BannerWeb, from which you will access your class lists, photos of your students, and the required narrative evaluations. When OAS sends you your 99 number (if you are new to the system), your password will default to the six digit date of birth we have for you in the system (i.e. 01/01/01). It is highly recommended that you access BannerWeb upon receipt of the information, change your password to something you can remember, and update your Emergency Contact information. If you have trouble accessing your BannerWeb account, please contact our User Support Center at 413-585-4487.

 
 

Novell/GroupWise

 
Do I have a Smith email account?  
 

Yes. All full-time and adjunct instructors are given a Smith (GroupWise) email account. This account is generated after you’ve submitted the Personal Information Questionnaire and Human Resources has generated your 99#.

 
When/How do I receive my Username/Password?  
 

New instructors will receive their Usernames/Passwords from the Office of Academic Support Services in late March/early April.  If you are a returning instructor and you don’t remember your Username/Password, please contact the User Support Center via email at 4its@smith.edu requesting your username and password.

 
How do I access my Smith email?  
 

Visit http://www.smith.edu/ssw/oas/forfaculty.php and select from GroupWise from the links in the left column.

 
 

Moodle

 
How do I obtain Moodle Access?  
 

You will automatically obtain access to Moodle once all of your employment paperwork has been processed.  To access Moodle, go to http://moodle.smith.edu and log in with the same username and password you use for your Smith (GroupWise) email account. If you do not know your Novell/GroupWise username and password, please contact our User Support Center via email at 4its@smith.edu .

 
When will my class page be available to me on Moodle?  
 

You should be able to view your Moodle course page(s) by the end of April. The Office of Academic Support Services will send all faculty an email notification when Moodle pages are ready to be viewed. Once the Moodle pages have been created, your syllabus and e-reserve readings will be posted in the order in which they were received.  Please do not post your syllabus or required readings to your Moodle page, as this will be completed by the Faculty Services Coordinator and Library Staff.

 
What is my Username and Password?  
 

To access Moodle, go to http://moodle.smith.edu and log in with the same username and password you use for your Smith (GroupWise) email account.  If you do not know your username and password, please contact our User Support Center via email at 4its@smith.edu .

 
Can I have access to last year’s readings?  
 

If you taught a course last year, you can access its Moodle page through the Old Courses block on the front page of Moodle (http://moodle.smith.edu).  These courses will be hidden from students as of April 24, 2009, but will remain accessible to faculty.  If you are new to the School for Social Work, or if you are teaching a class for the first time, please contact your sequence chair and request the username/password to gain access to the Moodle pages within your sequence.

 
Will I always have access to past years’ courses that I’ve taught?  
 

We keep courses accessible on Moodle for two years.  If you would like to re-use information from a previous year’s Moodle page, please make sure you have it on your computer.  If you do not still have your original copy, you can save it to your computer from the old Moodle page.

 
Can I post readings to Moodle?  What if I post links to readings that are available for free online?  
 

Due to copyright restrictions, please check with Nicole Kutcher in the OAS before posting any copyrighted material, including articles, music, images, and video.  Please review the copyright rules posted on our website: http://www.smith.edu/ssw/oas/oas_copyright.php . Readings posted by the library for past courses should not be moved by instructors to current year pages, as copyright permissions are only good for one year.

 
 

Library Access

 
When will I have access to the Library/use of online Library resources?   
 

We'll have all instructors in the library system by the end of March.  As long as you have a Novell/GroupWise login and password by then, you'll have Library access.

 
I am an adjunct at SSW. When does my Library access expire?  
 

Summer Adjunct access expires on 8/31/09.
