Inputting Grades and Making Grade Changes

Final Grades

Final Grade Lists (grading forms) are available for pickup by departments approximately two weeks before finals begin. These are Optical Scan forms. A #2 pencil should be used to fill in the corresponding grade bubbles, and an ink pen for the "Grades in Ink" column. The Final Grade Lists forms should be signed and returned to your department office by the deadline printed on the form. Current university policy requires grades be returned no later than 90 hrs after the exam for spring and fall terms and no later than 72 hrs for summer terms.

See the Spring 2007 Grade Processing Calendar for specific deadlines.

See the Fall 2006 Checklist for Faculty for instructions on completing final grade lists.

Posting Grades

The Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act prohibits the posting of grades, either by student identification number or name or any other means which may be personally identifiable. Any posting of the grades without the written consent of the student is a violation of FERPA. Instructors and others who post grades should devise a system which ensures the privacy of a student's grade(s). Questions should be directed to the Academic Records Office , 303- 492-3072.

Making Retroactive Grade Changes

The Change of Record Form is used to submit grade changes and retroactive adds or drops.  In addition to the instructor's signature, the student's dean must approve all changes. Change of Record Forms can be obtained by faculty from their department office.
