Early Grade Processing
In response to the President’s Task Force recommendation to re-establish the practice of early grade reporting for first year students, early grade rosters are produced for all enrolled undergraduate students who have earned less than 30 credit hours.
Review Your Roster
IF YOU HAVE STUDENTS WHO HAVE DEFICIENT
GRADES:
- Enter one of the following grades: C-,
D+, D, D-, F, FA (Failure due to attendance), or FT (Failure due to
tests).
- If there is a “W” grade showing in the
“Official Grade” column, the course has been dropped and you do not have
to enter a grade for this student.
- After you enter the grades, click SAVE,
and EXIT the roster.
NOTE: The “Approval Status” box is
now grayed out because it is not a part of the Early Grading Process.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE STUDENTS ON YOUR ROSTER MAKING A C- OR BELOW:
- Look for the checkbox labeled “Roster
Reviewed, No Deficiencies,” CHECK IT, Click SAVE, and EXIT the roster.

FAQs
Q. I don’t have a grade roster. Why?
A. You have no students in your class who fall into one of the following
categories:
- New First-Year Students
- Continuing First-Year Students
Q. Why won’t it let me “Approve” my roster?
A. You do not have to “Approve” your Early Intervention Roster, only SAVE and
exit the Roster. The “Approval Status” box is used only for
End of Term Grading.
Q. Should I enter grades for everyone on my roster, even the ones who are
doing well?
A. No. Only enter grades for students who are making a C- or below
(including FA or FT).
Q. When I look back at my roster, it looks the same. Did I do it
correctly?
A. Yes, the roster will still look the same, but when you save and exit, it
is finished.
