Navigating Final Grade Submission: Guidelines and Deadlines
April 22, 2024 —
The deadline for submitting final grades is four days after the final examination, with no exceptions beyond Friday, May 3 at 4:00 pm. Please be aware of the following:
- Departmental Approval: Grades needing departmental approval must adhere to department-specific deadlines. Regardless of approval status, all grades will be rolled into academic history by Monday, May 6.
- Courses Outside Normal Term Dates: Courses with different term dates may have alternate deadlines. Check with your faculty/school/college office for specifics.
- Late Grade Submission: Grades submitted after the deadline must follow the Late Grade Submission process.
- Grade Entry Options: When approving grades, use the ‘All Students’ option, not ‘Graduating Students’.
- Academic Misconduct Investigations: Do not enter grades for students under investigation. Final grades can be submitted post-decision using the Change of Grade process.
Important Reminders for Instructors:
- Follow ‘Incomplete Final Grade’ and ‘Time Extension’ processes for students needing additional time.
- Academic units may have specific rules for granting time extensions.
- Instructions for incomplete grades are available in the ‘Entering Final Grades’ document on our website.
End of Term Processing:
- An ‘IP’ (In Progress) grade will be loaded for registrations lacking final grades. Submit missing grades promptly using the Late Grade Submission process.
- Unsubmitted final grades will become ‘F NP’ (F – No Paper) four months post-deadline.
Faculty & Staff Resources:
- Report final grades electronically using Aurora. Find detailed instructions on the Registrar’s Office Grading page, covering entering grades, grading regulations, and deadlines.
- Refer to the ‘Entering Final Grades’ document for step-by-step guidance on various grade submission scenarios, including disciplinary grades and grade changes.
