Search

Search for a specific group of users (e.g. students, professors, advisors) and then optionally perform some action for them.  For instance, it is possible to get a list of all Men’s Baseball players with less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA and send them an email. 

Search For  This option will let you focus your search on Students, Tutors, Study Hall Monitors, Professors, Advisors, Coaches, Administrators, Super Users or All Users.

Advanced Search  You can toggle between the Advanced and Simple search by clicking the Switch To... button under the Search for Students heading.  When you first click on the Search tab, GradesFirst defaults to the Simple Search.  With the simple search, you only have the option to search by Keyword.  This search will only allow you to search a specific character (or group of characters in the users name), classification and/or category. The Advanced Search, as shown above, gives users a chance to search for a wide variety of other options such as First Name, Last Name, Cum. GPA less than, and many more.  Once you have entered your search criteria, click the Search button.
