Dates for Submitting Grades
The Office of the University Registrar creates grade rosters in batch after the last day of classes. Contact your college registrar if a grade roster is required prior to the end of the semester. Grade rosters will only be created for the graded component of the class.
How to Submit Final Course Grades
Each semester, the University Registrar opens the Grade Roster on the third day of exams. You can enter student grades between that date and the deadline, typically a few days after your final paper/project due date. Once you submit your final course grades, students can see their grades (almost) as soon as you post them. Grades entered by 2:00pm EST will be viewable on Student Center by 5:30pm EST.
