Announcements

Bear Cub Hub Training Course in CanvasThis self-paced training walks you through the basics of the Bear Cub Hub: logging in, navigating, accessing rosters, sending class emails, how waitlists work, how to add/drop, census, and submitting grades. Self-Enroll here.
Spring Registration Testing UnderwaySRJC is preparing for Spring 2027 registration by conducting registration testing with employees and students later this month. The testing will walk through the registration experience from the student perspective and help identify issues or barriers before registration begins. This is an important part of our work to make the transition to the new registration process as smooth as possible for students.

FAQ

Q: How do faculty export a list of student grades for a course in Bear Cub Hub?

A: In Bear Cub Hub's Faculty Dashboard, navigate to 'Faculty Grading.' After you've entered grades for a class, you can export a list of grades for the class by using the gear icon in the top-right corner. Click the gear icon, then select 'Export Template' from the drop-down menu. See the Faculty FAQ entry for more information.

Cleans converted AP/equivalency grades so they do not distort SAP or repeat processing.

  • Eligibility report: Develop a report identifying students eligible for COTOP. Confirm Brian Atwood’s role.
  • Statements and notifications: Confirm the process for producing and sending statements, mailers, and related notifications. Clarify Brian Atwood’s responsibility for Banner statements and Jacob Jones’s role in BCM communications.

Banner is not calculating or displaying students’ Catalog Year according to SRJC policy. Ellucian confirmed that Banner links the calculation to the student’s application date.
