Grading
Select this option to assign final and midterm grades. You will be required to select a term using the drop down boxes at the end of the field. For your convenience there will be only the current
term available for selection in this field. Please select that term. As you are entering your grades it is important to remember that WebAdvisor has a 30 minute idle time-out feature.

The courses that you are teaching will be displayed. At the top of this screen you must select whether you are grading Final Grades or Midterm/Intermediate Grades. This is a required entry. Midterm grades would only be selected if you are entering midterm marks for full-year courses during the Christmas examination period. It is important that the selection of Final Marks or Midterm/Intermediate Marks is correct since midterm marks will not be posted to the student’s transcript.

Select the course for which you wish to enter marks by clicking on the box to the far left of the course. Click Submit. Your class roster will now be displayed. Enter the mark for each student in the box after the student id. Valid grades are A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F, WF, and INC. If you enter a grade of INC you must enter a date (yy/mm/dd) that will trigger the system to change the INC grade to a F grade. This date is determined by the Registrar’s Office. If you do not know the correct date to enter please contact the Registrar’s Office. After you have finished entering the grades for this class you must click on Submit. Once you have clicked on submit, students will be able to see those grades instantly on the Grades Function of the WebAdvisor for Students. Final grades will not appear on the Transcript Function of the WebAdvisor for Students until they have been verified by the Registrar’s Office.

Note: Before final grades are verified by the Registrar’s Office you can make changes to your grades at any time using the Grading Function of WebAdvisor. Once the Registrar’s Office verifies these grades and posts them to the students’ transcripts WebAdvisor will not let you make any further changes to those grades. You will then have to follow the standard grade change procedure to change a grade. Midterm marks are not verified or posted to the transcript so they can be changed using the Grading Function of WebAdvisor at any time.
