Download your online class roster by starting from
https://sims.rutgers.edu/rosters/
and click the REGIS link.
On the next page, log in using your NetID and password.
Be sure to check the box for
Alphabetical Roster
, and
then Retrieve Roster
.
When you do the download, select the Comma
Separated Values (txt)
option.
-
Use
http://cgisvr.physics.rutgers.edu/~abrahmia/webassign.pl
to run Baki's program. Click browse
and locate your Rutgers roster file.
Click Generate CSV WebAssign Roster
.
-
If your class has no more than 250 students, Baki's program will
output a text file which you should save to disk for later upload
into WebAssign. If your class has more than 250 students, the
program will output a compressed zip file which you should save to
disk. Then unzip the file, and it will produce both a text file
containing all students, as well as subfiles with fewer than 250
students each. (If you are a Windows XP user, just save the zip
file to disk, right-click the file name and select "extract all."
-
Log into WebAssign and click the
Roster
button. On the Roster page, click the Upload
button.
-
On the next page, click
Browse
and locate
the file produced by
Baki's program (or the first of your subfiles, if you have more than
250 students). Click the Upload file
button.
-
Your WebAssign roster will appear. Click the
Next
button. On the
next page click the OK
button and
you'll see your full-blown roster.
If you need to upload another subfile, just click the
Upload
button and repeat the procedure.
-
Uploading of multiple subfiles in courses with more than 250
students needs to be done ONLY FOR THE INITIAL roster upload. For
subsequent uploads to update the roster, you can use the file that
has all students, even if there are more than 250.
