This electronic grade process is very simple. If you have any problems, please contact Beth Hice at 7232 or come by the Records Office. They would be happy to walk you through the process. Also, the college secretaries will be available to help you if needed.

Additional Tips to help you:

  • You are allowed 45 minutes to enter the grades before you must click submit. If the 45 minutes passes before you click submit your session will time out and you will lose what you have already entered. Be sure to click Submit often.

  • Once you have completed and submitted your grades, sign off the system and go back in to check that all grades were posted. In the past, a few people thought they had completed the process but the grades were not submitted so students did not get their grades.

  • You can only assign a grade of A, B, C, D, F or IP. Do not post a grade of W; the Records Office can only post this grade if the student has completed the withdrawal process.

  • Be sure you go to the end of your roster. Some rosters had two pages. In the past, there were a few students on the second page of the class rosters that did not receive a grade.

  • If you have a grade for a student who is not on your roster, they are not enrolled in your course. This student would be required to register with the necessary signatures (adviser, faculty member and dean) to be added to your class roster.
