Grade Reporting
SUBMITTING GRADES
1. Grades are due by the end of the third week following the last class session of a course. They
should be posted in the official grading area of Campus Cruiser. If grades are not received on
time by the registrar, an NR (No Report) will be entered on the student’s transcript.
2. If students are missing from the grade roster, students may have a financial hold on their account
and as a result are not permitted to register. Remind students to take care of their financial
aid/registration responsibilities.
3. Faculty may not enter a grade of W or I on the Grade Roster.
4. Faculty must submit the Incomplete Grade Request form signed by both the faculty member and
the student prior to the last class session. Submit form to the Registrar’s Office.
5. Upon notification of the posting of the grade roster, the Registrar’s Office verifies the grades and
posts the grades to official university records.
6. After a grade has been reported to the university’s registrar, the grade cannot be changed unless
a written grade change form and an acceptable reason for the change are submitted to the
registrar by the professor with prior approval of the program director.
7. Faculty are required to keep documentation which supports grades assigned for a minimum of
one year.
ISSUING A GRADE OF INCOMPLETE
Incomplete grades are to be issued only in the case of absence from classes due to unexpected
and unavoidable circumstances, such as serious illness, accident, or death in the immediate family, which
have made it impossible for the student to complete all course requirements as scheduled.
Even though it is the student’s responsibility to initiate the incomplete form, and get faculty
approval, faculty may wish to let students know of their responsibility when circumstances described
above occur.
A grade of incomplete is not to be issued for unsatisfactory work or failure to submit work
through negligence. Requests for a grade of incomplete are not approved in cases where students have
not completed work due to lack of time. Students are eligible to receive a grade of incomplete only when
they have demonstrated effort toward meeting course requirements, and when completion of the course
work appears reasonably attainable.
1. Students may request a grade of incomplete by obtaining a Request for Grade of Incomplete form
from the Registrar’s website, completing the form, and turning it in to the instructor prior to the
completion of the course. If the instructor agrees to give the student a grade of incomplete, the
instructor will inform the student of the work to be completed and the scheduled completion
date for a grade to be posted for the incomplete.
2. Both the student and the instructor must complete and sign the Request for Grade of Incomplete
form. The instructor is responsible for returning the form to DC Assistant Registrar, prior to the
last day of class.
3. On the Request for Grade of Incomplete form, the instructor will be asked to report a grade (in
addition to the grade of incomplete) which has been earned on the basis of work completed by
the last day of the course. This is the grade which will be posted to the transcript should the
