Click on the Final Grade Entry Menu item.
Step #5: All the courses taught in the current term, which have students enrolled and that are for credit, will be displayed.

The grade selection is presented in a drop down list next to each student.
Highlight a grade and click your mouse button to enter a grade for each student. After the entire list of students is completed, press the 
button.
Step #8: Review the grades before submitting them.
If any changes need to be made to the grades before submitting them, use the web browser Back button to step back and make any needed changes. Once the grades are submitted, and prior to their release to students, ONLY the Registrar’s Office will be able to correct typographical errors. After grades have been released to students all grade changes must be approved by the Board of Review. It is also suggested (but not necessary) that the web browser Print button be used to make a record of the grades submitted.
Step #9: Press the 
button to complete the entry of final grades for the course.
The final grades have been successfully submitted to the Registrar’s Office. NOTE: Revisiting the selected course will display the grades that have been previously entered – so you can go in any time and review grades that were submitted, but you cannot alter submitted grades without contacting the Registrar’s Office at x5983.
Special Cases:
Case #1: Blank Grades:
Blank grades are not allowed, every student in a course needs to be assigned a grade. If a student’s grade is left blank a notice will be given.
The web browser Back button must be used to go back and enter grades for any student for whom a blank appears instead of a standard grade.
If a faculty member has petitioned the Board of Review for an X (deferred grade) for a student, or the Dean of Students has authorized an I (incomplete grade) for a student, and if the deferred or incomplete grade does not already appear in the grade field, then the instructor should assign an X grade to that student in order to avoid leaving the grade blank.
Blank grades will not be accepted. Example:
Case #2: X (deferred) & F Grades:
If X (deferred) or an F grade is assigned to a student a form is required to explain the circumstances of the grade.
Example:
When presented with this reminder click on the 
button.
Fill out the form box to explain the X (deferred) or F grade assignment.
Example:
Each form box will be labeled with the Student’s name and the grade that was assigned to them in that course.
Click on the button to submit the X (deferred) or F grades. Remember, X (deferred) or F grades cannot be submitted unless accompanied by an explanatory form. If the form is not filled out, a warning will be displayed
The web browser Back button must be used to go back and fill out the form for each student in the course receiving an X (deferred) or F grades. It is also suggested that the web browser Print button be used to make a record of the forms submitted.
Case #3: Incompletes and Provisional Grades:
Starting with the Fall 2005 semester, a student with an authorized Incomplete grade (I) must be assigned a Provisional Grade for that course. That is, at the time grades are submitted for the course, the instructor must assign a "temporary" (Provisional) grade for the Incomplete based on an assessment of the completed and remaining requirements for the entire course (see p. 15 of the catalog). The 'I' grade remains on the student's record until the established deadline, after which it is either i) replaced by the Provisional Grade if the remaining course requirements have not been completed or ii) replaced by a new final grade submitted by the instructor based upon the completion of the remaining course requirements.
Similar to reporting F or deferred grades, when an authorized Incomplete for a student appears on the grade roster, you will be prompted to provide a Provisional Grade for that student before submitting grades for that class.
