How do I check my grade for a course I'm currently taking?^
Many instructors use the gradebook feature on their UAS Online course sites. If an instructor has this enabled, as a student, you will see your progress report appear in the bottom of the Assignments section of the Course Homesite.
In the Progress Report, you can see what your instructor is tracking and any grades and comments that have been recorded. You can also go to the Grade Estimator to determine what grades you will need to get the overall grade that you want.

Why can't I access the discussion board in Internet Explorer 8?^
Internet Explorer 8's security settings block the discussion board. Not to fear! This can easily be fixed:
The solution for those using IE8 is to add
'https://uascentral.uas.alaska.edu/online' as a trusted site in the
browser. Here are the steps:
- After opening IE8 go to Tools > Internet Options > Security
- Select 'Trusted Sites' in the window
- Click on the 'Sites' button
- enter 'https://uascentral.uas.alaska.edu/online' in the field below 'Add this website to the zone:'
- Click on the 'Add' button
- Close the Trusted Sites window and select 'OK' on the Internet Options window.
That's it - you should now be able to navigate to UAS Online
resources without being prompted by IE8, or receiving error messages.
