| - | ===== Grades ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Entering Grades Into UCD Access ==== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | For a step-by-step guide on how to enter grades, follow this link: [[http:// | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Posting Grades ==== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | The posting of grades by name or student number (even with name obscured) violates federal law under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and is **strictly prohibited**. No grade may be posted in a manner that would allow a student to learn another student’s grade. Graded papers may not be placed in a box or file cabinet for students to look through to find their own, unless those papers are sealed inside individual envelopes. It is acceptable -and encouraged- for students to supply the faculty member with a stamped, self-addressed envelope to return papers or other assignments. The best way is to post grades in our CANVAS online course system. Students can log in with their ID to see their grades. Call the CU Online Help Desk at 303-315-3700 for assistance/questions. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Grading is done online through the Faculty Center in UCD Access. If there is more than one instructor on record, only the Primary Instructor will be able to approve and submit the final grades however, the Secondary Instructor will be able to enter the grades. Complete your grading online through UCD Access: [[https:// | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | **//GRADE CHANGE FORM//** \\ \\ A Change of Record form is required to correct or update a student’s grade for a course, or to indicate the completion of coursework that allows an Incomplete to convert to a letter grade. These forms are available in Academic Services (LSC 701). | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Frequently Encountered Situations ==== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | // | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Financial aid requires students to successfully complete a certain number of semester hours by the end of the semester. Grades of ‘I’, ‘W’, ‘NC’, and ‘F’ do not satisfy financial aid requirements. An Incomplete grade will not satisfy Financial Aid requirements. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 2.**// | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | In the absence of special circumstances, | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | 3.**// | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Students are responsible for knowing the passing grade, typically B- in their courses. Faculty should not encourage poorly performing students to stay in the course past the 10-week drop deadline as student performance rarely improves at the end of the semester. Regular communication of student performance during the semester is the best way to avoid this situation. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | // | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Faculty are encouraged to regularly communicate grade information to students during the semester to minimize student complaints. Faculty should meet with students to evaluate the nature of the complaint. Faculty grading mistakes are easily handled with the Change of Record Form. Otherwise, the student should be referred to the Academic Services for the Academic Appeal Process procedure. | + | |

| - | ===== Campus Closure ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
