Record Your Grades
All instructors will enter student grades through the web.
- The W grade will automatically be entered if students withdraw themselves within the withdrawal period.
- Students enrolled in regular session classes, cannot withdraw themselves after the 60% date.
- 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 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 prior to the 60% date, but you do not know the exact date when the student stopped attending class, use 01/01/1900
- If the student stopped attending after the 60% date, but you do not know the exact date when the student stopped attending class, use 12/31/9999
Remember to enter X for all Audit grades.
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.
