You may access your HUB Faculty Center via MyUB. The HUB Faculty Center will allow you to view any classes where you were an instructor for current and previous semesters; view class lists and student photos; email your class; and post grades. An overview of your HUB Faculty center can be a helpful way to navigate the various areas.
UBLearns is centrally supported. Extensive information on using UBLearns, as well as class set-up can be found on the UBLearns for Faculty page.
If you are selecting a student to be a teaching assistant (TA) for one of your JD classes here are a few things to consider:
Advisors are assigned to 1L, LL.M., and transfer students in their first year. Students can view their advisor and email address in their HUB Student Center.
Records and Registration will enroll students in 1L classes. All other law students are responsible for their own enrollment. More information on student class enrollment, such as add/drop/resign dates can be found on our student page.
When a class is designated to allow for a wait list, the student has the option during registration to wait list the class if the class is full. Students who select this option are given a position on the wait list; if a seat opens in the class, eligible students are moved from the wait list in order of position number.
If student registration in a course you are instructing is by application or permission simply send an email to law-records@buffalo.edu letting us know who the student is and in what class we should enroll the student. If it's variable credit don't forget to tell us how many credits!
When scheduling courses for each semester our office will assign permission numbers and will send them to you or the staff in your office to be given out as students are accepted for the course or program. Students will then be able to self-enroll. For Independent Study courses students must ask the instructor to sign a form that needs to be submitted to the office of Records and Registration. We will then register the student.
You can view the exam schedule for your class via your HUB Faculty Center. Students can view the date and time for their final examinations via their HUB Student Center. Examination policies can be found on the student Records and Registration page.
ExamSoft software is used by students to take exams on their laptops.
More information on ExamSoft can be found here.
