Students who never attended should be assigned the first day of the semester.

Please note the following:

  • The final date of attendance should only be entered for an F grade. Do not enter a last date of attendance for a grade of W or D.
  • A date within the beginning and end dates of the semester must be used when entering the last date of attendance.
    • For students who never attended, enter the first day of the semester,
    • For students who attended the entire semester and 鈥渆arned鈥� the F, enter the final day of the semester.
  • For online courses, the last date of attendance is determined by the final time the student participated in the course in a meaningful way. Simply accessing the course is not considered attendance.
  • Students who withdrew from a course have a W auto-populated as the final grade. Do not type another grade over the W.  If the roster does not indicate a W as the final grade, the student has not withdrawn from the course and the grade must be entered.
  • IP (In Progress) grades can only be entered by the Registrar鈥檚 Office upon receipt of an IP contract. See the 91老司机 IP policy for the procedure for assigning an IP grade. 
  • Once grades are submitted, double check to make sure all are in by signing off the system, logging on again, and going to each roster.
  • Courses with high enrollment could have two pages of grades, so check at the bottom of the page to see there is an additional page to the roster.
  • Contact the Registrar鈥檚 Office regarding any student who attended and completed work in a course but does not show on the roster.

The Registrar鈥檚 Office will not release individual grades to students before final grades are posted. If a student calls or emails requesting a specific grade before grades roll, he/she will be instructed to contact the instructor or wait until grades roll.
