Granting Proxy Access to Online Grading
Granting proxies allow you to designate another person (such as a TA) to enter grades for you for a particular class selection.
A Grading Proxy must have a NetID and be a faculty, staff or student member of the NU community. They cannot be enrolled in the class session selected, and cannot be an undergraduate nor a non-degree seeking student.
Grading Proxies must fill out an access form to obtain access to CAESAR grading functions.
