Fall 2016 Mid-Term Submission of Deficient Grades

To All Instructors,

The Office of the Registrar collects deficient grades each fall and spring term on behalf of the advising offices of our undergraduate Schools and Colleges. For fall 2016, we will be collecting deficient grades for students who are performing at the D, F, or NP level as of October 14, the end of the eighth week of the term. 

We are working diligently with the SIS Project to configure the grading features in our new student information system to be able to deliver a smooth end-of-term grading experience to faculty and instructors. By the spring 2017 term, we will also be able to collect midterm deficient grades within the student information system. However, the tools and programming needed to submit midterm deficient grades will not be available by the October 14 deadline.

Therefore, for the fall 2016 term only, we request that you submit the deficient grades via a spreadsheet or word document. Below is a sample of what is required. A template that you may use is located on the right side of this page.
