GRADE REPORTING
GRADE REPORTING
Faculty members must submit grades to the Registrar no later than 48 hours after each final examination. Any delay will result in students not receiving grades on a timely basis, which can adversely affect their ability to register for the next semester. Timely grade reporting is necessary as it affects the academic review process conducted by the Committee on Standards at the end of each semester. Please adhere to the established deadline for grade submission.
Grading Options Available to HWS Faculty
On-Line Grade Reporting
Online grading is available to faculty beginning Dec. 12 and ending on Dec. 20, 2011.
VERY IMPORTANT: If issuing grades of I, D, D+ F or NC, faculty are required to complete the reason in the "Note" area in No. 8 below OR complete and submit the I,D,F,NC report form to Kelly Crawford in the Registrar's Office.
- Go to the Registrar's Web page.
- Click on "HWS PeopleSoft Website."
- At the login, enter your user ID and password (which is the same as your HWS Network ID and password).
- At the Enterprise Menu, click on "Campus Solutions & HR."
- Click on "Self Service" option to view available web services.
- Click on "Faculty Center" and then "My Schedule" to view your current schedule. (Be sure you are viewing the current term. Change the term if necessary.)
- Select the class to grade and click on "Grade Roster" icon.
- Grade Roster Type should be "Final Grade." Approval Status needs to be "Not Reviewed" to enter grades. Enter grades in Roster Grade column. (Use drop down to select grade).
Note: If your entire section is fully graded, then change the Approval Status to "Approved."
IMPORTANT NOTE: If issuing grades of I, D, D-, D+, F or NC, click "Transcript Note" (2nd tab at the top of the list), then click "Note" in the last column to provide a reason. Select the Note ID that corresponds with the given grade. Enter the text in the designated area. (You are limited to 254 characters. Add any additional notes/text by adding new rows using the + sign.) Save your note by selecting OK. If you have difficulty inputting this information in PeopleSoft, please go to the forms website and complete form "Report on D, F, NC and I (Incomplete) Grades" and submit to the Registrar's Office.
- Continue until all students have a grade. Note: It is possible to enter a partial list of grades (which you must save in order to retain your efforts.)
- Once grading is completed, click "Save" at the bottom left of the grade roster. When completing the grade input process for all students in the class, be sure to change the Approval Status to "Approved" to enter the remaining grades in the class.
- To officially post grades you have saved, the Registrar will run an overnight process (during the grading period) to POST all grades saved. Once grades are posted they appear in the Official Grade column and students can view grades in self service via the PeopleSoft Student Center.
- Once grades are posted, a "Request Grade Change" button appears. This will allow you to change an official grade. Select the new grade in Official Grade column and click "Submit" at bottom of page. Success appears next to the new grade.
- Click "Cancel" at bottom of page and return to the Grade Roster. (The original grade and the new grade will display).
- If you have additional classes to grade, click the "Return" button at the bottom left of the page and repeat steps 7-12.
IMPORTANT!
E-mail Kelly Crawford with Independent Study titles by December 20, 2011.
ON-LINE GRADING ENDS AT MIDNIGHT ON December 20, 2011. After this date and time, subsequent grade submissions must be done on the hard copy grade roster. If a change of grade is necessary, the Change of Grade Form is available in the Registrar's Office.
IN-PERSON GRADE REPORTING USING HARD COPY GRADE ROSTERS:
- Contact Kelly Crawford to request in advance a printed hard copy grade roster for your courses one week before the final exam period.
- Check the following information on the grade roster: Course Number, Course Title, Instructor Name, Student Names
- No grade rosters should exist for non-graded courses (i.e. labs).
- Report discrepancies immediately to the Registrar's Office.
- A grade must be submitted for every student whose name appears on the roster. If a 'W' or '#' appears in the grade column for a student, simply bypass that student. A student will receive no grade report until a letter grade is reported in all courses in which he/she is registered.
- If a student has attended your class whose name does not appear on the grade roster, the student has not properly registered for the course. Do not add names to the roster. Please fill out the Registration Correction Form and return it with the grade roster to the Registrar's Office.
- Please submit titles for any 450 Independent Study courses.
- Use a fine black pen and press firmly when issuing grades.
- Sign your name at the bottom of each grade roster. Retain copy for your record. Penciled in grades are unacceptable and will be returned.
- Grades of D, D-, D+ F, NC, or I require completion of the D, D-, D+ F, NC, or I Report Form.
- Please hand deliver grade rosters to the Registrar's Office (Gulick Hall, 1st floor.) Do not send them through intercampus mail.
