Grading Scale: Graduate and Undergraduate schools

Administrative Grades

• I (Incomplete) Students who, because of unusual circumstances, do not complete a course may, at the discretion of the instructor, receive an incomplete grade (I). An Incomplete Course Contract, available from the Office of the University Registrar’s Office or the division/program office, must be completed and signed by the student and instructor and submitted to the division office by the student.
• AW (Administrative Withdrawal) ‘AW’ should be assigned to students who have attended a portion of the course and who have stopped attending, but who have not officially dropped the course by the conclusion of the semester.
• NA (Never Attended) The code ‘NA’ should be assigned to students who are officially registered for the course and whose name appears on the grade roster, but who have never attended the class.

Pre-Assigned Grades

• W (Withdrew) cannot be changed.

Grading Deadlines

Please refer to the Academic Calendar to view on-campus grading deadlines. The grade submission deadline for off-campus courses is 45 days after the final class meeting.

Important Notes:

• Please submit grades for all students; no student should be left without an academic or administrative grade.
• If a student’s name does not appear on the online roster, click on the link at the bottom on the grading page to submit the student’s grade. Students who do not appear on the roster have not been officially registered and must contact the Office of the University Registrar to register and receive their final grades. Submitting grades via the Web Grading link will record the students’ names and grades for future internal reference within the Office of the University Registrar.

Grading Confirmation

After submitting grades electronically, faculty members may confirm grade submission by logging back onto the system and selecting the course a second time. The grade roster will reflect all grades previously entered.
