Entering Grades

Important: Only primary instructors can enter grades.  For courses with sub-courses (for example, FYE), the primary instructor must enter grades for all sections.

1. Click on the Roster Status (i.e., Not Started or In Progress) for the course you want to grade.
   
    
2. The roster opens below the course list and is sorted alphabetically by last name.  You can sort by any column using the arrows in the column headers.
3. Select a grade for each student in the Final Grade column (see Fig 3).
4. Enter a Last Attended Date for any student receiving an F or Z grade (this is required).  
   
   Fig 3: Final Grade and Last Attended fields
    
5. Click Save when finished or at any point if you need to stop and return later.  The roster will remain In Progress until all students have a grade.
   • Save saves your work.  
   • Reset clears any unsaved changes.  Use this only if you want to discard what you entered since your last save.  

Adding Grades for Another Course

1. Remember to save your current roster.
2. Return to the course list at the top of the page.
3. Select the Roster Status for the next course you want to grade (see Fig 2).

Roster Status:

This shows your progress entering grades.

• Not started: No grades entered yet.
• In Progress: Some grades have been entered.
• Completed: All students have a grade.  Grades can be changed on the roster until the grading deadline is released by the Registrar.

Grades Posted:

This shows whether grades have been rolled into students’ academic history by the Registrar’s Office.

• Not Started: No grades have been rolled yet.  You can still make changes on the roster.
• In Progress: Some grades have been rolled (often due to withdrawal grades such as a W).  You can still make changes to any grades that have not been rolled.
• Completed: All grades have been rolled by the Registrar and show on the students’ academic history.  No more changes can be made via the roster.  Any changes now must be submitted through the official Change of Grade process.
