Please be aware of the following grading information.

Grading Help

Refer to the Registrar's Grading Guide for detailed instructions on using Faculty Self Service to record grades.

Grading Period

  • Grading for 2nd and Full parts of term (POT) opens Friday, December 6.
  • All grades must be entered in Faculty Self Service by 8am, Tuesday, December 17.

If you miss the deadline, "I" grade(s) will be assigned, grading will close, and you will need to submit a Grade Correction form for each student receiving an "I" grade.

Important Considerations

  1. All students must be graded.
  2. Do not enter a date in the Last Attend Date column for students who complete the class (regardless of the grade). Use this column to report stopped-attending or never-attended dates for students who fail to complete the class.
  3. Enter any stopped-attending/never-attended dates by the end of the grading period.
  4. If a student never attends or stops attending, fails the class, and does not officially withdraw, you must assign a FN (failure due to non-attendance) or a U.
  5. Enter a grade for every student who does not have a W.  All students must be graded.
  6. Note that some students on your grade roster may have a name change. If you need assistance with verifying name changes, please call 901.678.2810.
  7. To verify that you have submitted all grades, review each page of your final class roster.
  8. Academic status and grades are not directory information; do not release these to someone over the phone. You may discuss academic status and grades with a student in person.
  9. You may email a grade to a student, but only to the student's UofM email address. However, since students may access grades on Student Self Service after grades are official, this should not be necessary.

Also, you should be aware of what is considered directory information at the UofM and review FERPA compliance information. If you have any questions or need help, please call Student and Faculty Services at 901.678.2810.
