Course Rosters
Online course rosters are available to faculty at https://genesis.gc.maricopa.edu/faculty/classes.pl .  Faculty must use their eGCC username and password to login to the rosters. There are three formats available: a browser page, photos, and an excel file.  The photos page is never to be printed or saved for privacy reasons.  If a student's picture does not appear on the photo page, it means the student has not had their picture taken for a student ID.  All students are encouraged to have their photo taken and obtain a free student ID for use in the library and other areas of campus.

Discussion Forums
Based upon the Snitz forum software, the Glendale Community College Forums are available for online discussions. The forum, once created, remains available every semester.  The faculty member maintains the forum, adding classes and creating discussion areas. Login, Read and Write in the GCC Forums (.doc) explains basic forum use.  Each faculty member may request a forum to use with his/her classes by emailing Mike Aragon at mike.aragon@gcmail.maricopa.edu .

Email Distribution Lists
Faculty may request an email distribution list for a class.  This is an email address that may be used to send an email to  all of the members of a particular section of a course.  To request an email distribution list, send an email to Marla DeSoto and include the name and section number of your course.
