“Things to Remember”
When are my grades due?
-
Grades are due 48 hours after the final exam.
How do I know if I have a graduating candidate in my class?
-
The * that appears on the left side of a student’s name on your grade roster denotes a graduating candidate.
If I see a “W” in the grade box of a student on my roster, do I still have to put in a grade?
-
No. A grade of “W” in the grade box means the student has dropped or withdrawn from your course and no further action needs to be taken by you to enter a grade.
When the grades are recorded on the student’s record, the status will change to POSTED. Once the status is POSTED, you will no longer be able to change any of the grades on the Roster. You will need to send in a Request for Change of Grade Form.
NOTE FOR UNDERGRADUATE INSTRUCTORS ONLY:
