   NOTE: When recording the grade of R or U for a developmental class and F for a regular credit class, you’ll be required to enter the last date the student attended class. If the student stopped attending prior to the 60% date and you don’t know the exact date, enter 01/01/1900.
10. Click Save at the bottom of the screen when done.
    
    
    

    NOTE: After entering the grades and saving them, Faculty should check with their Division Office to determine next steps. When you are finished, always remember to Sign Out to ensure the security and privacy of your account information.

Additional Notes:

• 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 a student withdraws 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:
  1. If the student stopped attending, but you do not know the date, use 01/01/1900.
  2. 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.
• You do not have to enter all your grades at once. If you have a large class, it is recommended that you SAVE each time you have entered 5 to 10 grades. If you get an error about the last day of attendance, go back and record the LDA and save.
• You can leave grades blank. You can go back later and enter them.
• Grades must be entered by the grade deadline. You will receive instructions from the Executive Vice President.
• Grades may not be entered in myNOVA between midnight and 6:00 a.m.
• After you enter grades, students will not see them on their records until the Grade Batch Posting program runs. The program will run between midnight and 6:00 a.m.
• Once a grade is posted to a student’s record, it cannot be changed on the Roster. Contact the Division Office for instructions.
• All questions should be directed to your Dean or Division Office.
