Midterm Grade Submission Instructions

Important Notes About Midterm Grades

• All First Year undergraduates must be graded for all courses regardless of the grade (A - F).
• If an upperclassman during the first half of a semester is doing unsatisfactory work (i.e. C-, D, or F), you must report this to the Registrar using the Faculty Grading Tool.  Instructors will need to affirm if there are no students in a class receiving deficient grades in the same manner.
• "X" grades cannot be assigned at midterm.
• If a student has not been attending class, assign him/her the grade he/she has earned thus far.
• Graduate, Graduate Business, and Law students DO NOT receive midterm grades
• If you are assigning a deficient grade of "C-", "D" or "F", you will note that there are grades and indicators of C- (1), C- (2), C- (3)….F (5), F(6) to allow you to select the deficient grade and the most appropriate reason for the deficient grade. Only one deficiency grade and reason combination can be selected per student. [Example a midterm grade of "D" for a student with "Excessive Absences" would result in be a D3 grade. This same student may have also had poor test scores, but the primary reason has been his/her poor attendance.]
