Note: The reset button will clear all previously entered information.
For Midterm Grades: DO NOT enter the Last Attend Date or Attend Hours for midterm grades, they are not required. If they are entered, they will affect your ability to enter the appropriate date and hours for final grades of F later.
Failing Grades
When posting a Final grade of âFâ: Enter the last date of attendance in the Last Attend Date field, enter as (MM/DD/YYYY). If the student never attended, enter the first date of class. Attended Hours field will be left blank.
Success! Once all grades have been submitted, you will receive a confirmation message.
Incomplete (I) Grades
The conditional grade of I may be issued to a student having a passing average on all completed coursework but for a justified reason, such as illness or death in the family or by providential hindrance, has been prevented from taking the final examination or completing other required coursework. The I becomes an F in one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the end of the term unless the student completes the balance of the coursework with a performance grade of D or higher. Re-enrollment in the course will not resolve the I.
1. When entering final grades, Select the I grade from the drop-down menu.
2. Select Submit.
3. Review the information for the I grade and select Submit.
Note: The Extension Date is the date by which you must submit the Change of Grade form (120 days from the end of the term).
- You cannot change this date.
- The Incomplete Final Grade appears as an F because the I will automatically become an F if you don't change it before the Extension Date.
Success! Once all grades have been submitted, you will receive a confirmation message.
