Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I change a grade that I have already submitted?
  • Midterm grades are immediately added to the student’s record and cannot be changed once the Submit button is clicked.
     
• What if the student is registered but has never come to class?
  • If you have a student who has stopped attending or never attended class, award that student an unsatisfactory grade (“F” for undergraduate level and “U” for graduate level).  This informs the student that he/she is currently enrolled in the class and runs the risk of an unsatisfactory final grade provided proper procedures are not followed.
