Grading

Policies related to the submission of grades are determined by faculty. 

Grades must be entered in Workday by 12 noon Eastern on the given due date. Grades should never be sent in the text of an email, as email is not a secure means of communication.

Deadlines for submitting grades and other relevant information can be found on the Academic Services Calendar.

Final Grades

Instructors are required to submit final grades for all students enrolled in their courses.

The window for entering final grades in Workday opens on the last day of classes.  All final grades, including a grade of  “NC” for a no credit lab or “AU” for the successful completion of an audit, must be entered in Workday by 12 noon Eastern on the given due date which can be found on the appropriate Academic Services Calendar.

A reminder message about the deadline is sent out to all instructors at the beginning of each term and a couple of weeks prior to the deadline for submission.

Important:  The identification of grades in Canvas is not the final step for grade submission.  Grades must be entered in Workday.

Late grade submissions are handled as grade changes.

Midterm Grades for Undergraduates

Midterm grades help lower division advisors and the Office of Academic Advising identify students who are struggling as well as those students who are doing well.  The Committee on Academic Affairs (CAA) also uses midterm grades as indicators of student progress when considering student appeals for late and retroactive drops.  Please make every effort to submit midterm grades on time.

The deadline for entering midterm grades is 12 noon Eastern on the given due date which can be found on the appropriate Academic Services Calendar. Faculty members are encouraged to incorporate into the construction of their courses the deadline for the submission of midterm grades.

A reminder message about the deadline is sent out to all instructors prior to the deadline for submission.

Grade Changes for Undergraduates

Grade changes (including late grade submissions) are entered in Workday and must be approved in the Office of the Dean of the College or the School of Business.  Undergraduate grade changes after 60 days require the approval of the Committee on Academic Affairs (CAA).
