Grading Information

Grade Reporting

Submit grades through Office of the Registrar Grade Reporting website. You can log in to check your grade authorizations and due dates. Grades are due by 10:00 am on their due date. The Office of the Registrar also has a website for questions about grade reporting.

Absence/Failing Reports

Faculty should notify students of excessive absences or poor performance online via "Absence-Failing" notice provided for that purpose, preferably between the 20th and 40th class day of the semester. Absence/failing reports significantly reduce registration errors and ease academic advising for subsequent semesters. An instructor of record (or proxy) may submit the absence/failing report directly from CLIPs.
