Mid-Term (Six-Week) Grade Rules
Appropriate mid-term grades to be assigned are "A", "B", "C", "D", "F" or (when designated) "P", "S", "U". Post all grades under the Midterm Grade column and click "Submit" after EACH page. To change a grade displayed under the Grade on Record column, key the new grade in the Midterm Grade column and click "Submit". "F" grades do not require additional processing.
10-Week Grade Rules
Appropriate grades are "A", "B", "C", "D", "F" or (when designated) "P". Post all grades in the Current Grade column and
click "Submit" after EACH page. To change a grade displayed under the Current Grade on Record column, key the new grade
in the Current Grade column and click "Submit". "F" and "I" grades do not require
additional processing. Remove a grade by typing an asterisk (*) in the Current Grade column.
Final Grade Rules
Every student must have a grade entered. The grading process is not complete if you leave blanks. If a student did not attend your class you must enter the appropriate grade ("W's" can not be entered by instructor.)
Post all grades under the Final Grade column and click "Submit" to record EACH page. To change a grade displayed under the Grade on Record column, key the new grade in the Final Grade column and click "Submit".
Valid Final Grades
Final grades of "A", "B", "C", "D"; "F", and "I” may be submitted. Use "R" for continuing research classes (5000 or 6000) or those courses with pre-approval from the Grad College. "S" and "U" may be used for zero level courses. "P" and "F" may only be used if pre-approved by the department when the Course Action Form was submitted.
"I" Grades (Finals)
"I" grades require an explanation of what must be done to complete the course, and the due date for the work to be submitted to the instructor.
Inputting an "I” Grade and Comment
Comments are limited to 250 characters. Use a word processor to create lengthy comments prior to beginning the grade input process. The information may be copied from the word processor and pasted into the comment window. Comments that exceed 250 characters will be truncated when pasted into the comment window.
Comments may be modified or changed by clicking into the box and re-typing the information.
Dates are verified when the “Submit” button is selected, or when you select another page on the grade roll.
"F" Grades (Finals)
"F” grades require you to indicate if the student attended, never attended, or stopped attending the class. If you choose "stopped”, a date is required before the grade will be accepted.
Inputting an "F" Grade and Attendance Status
Attendance status may be modified as needed while the grading system is available.
Honors Grades (Finals)
If a student has an honors contract for your course, you are required to report whether or not the student completed the requirements for the contract. Regardless of the grade, a "Y" or "N" value must be entered for every student with a pending contract. If the student receives a grade of "A" or "B", and a contract is completed, the student will automatically receive honors credit. If any other grade is entered or the contract was not complete, honors credit will not be awarded.
Inputting Honors Contract Information
10 Week Grades
10-Week grades are used by the University to monitor progress for a group of students. The SIS Web grading system opens as requested by the administrative areas that need the grades. Should you have a student in one of the selected groups, those students will be displayed on your 10-week grades rolls.
Optional fields are available to report absences and to input comments you want to share with the department monitoring the student's progress.
