All instructors will enter student grades through My NOVA.

• The "W" grade will automatically be entered if students withdraw themselves within the withdrawal period (after census and before the last date to withdraw). Instructors cannot enter a "W" grade.
• Instructors cannot enter a grade of “I” for Incomplete. Contact your Division Office for procedures and forms.
• Students enrolled in regular session classes, cannot withdraw themselves after the 60% date (last date to withdraw with a “W” grade).
• If students withdraw from a dynamic session class after the official withdrawal period, an "F" grade will automatically be entered.
• When recording a grade of "R" or "F" or "U," you will be required to enter the last date that the student attended. You may use a placeholder date if you don't know the exact date when the student stopped attending:
  • If the student stopped attending , but you do not know the date, use 01/01/1900.
  • If the student completed the entire class, you may use the last date of the class or 12/31/9999. You can look up the official last date of your class in self-service>faculty center>my schedule.

After entering the grades and saving them, faculty should print and sign a copy of the completed grade roster to keep for your own records. Please check with your Division Office to determine if they want a signed copy.
