Grading
Grade Deadlines
The University has an official grade deadline for each session and/or term; however, the grade posting process begins at an earlier date. Grade posting will begin the same day that rosters have been made available for grading. Once grades have been posted, grade changes must be submitted via the Grade Change Request workflow in the student system. For semester grade due dates, please refer to the Academic Calendar. Grade Rosters will be available at 5:30PM on the date listed.
Grade Rosters
In order to record grades online, please log into the portal, click on "Faculty Center Login" (which can be found on the right-side menu). Once there, click on Self Service and then, Faculty Center where the Grade Rosters will appear once they have been generated for the current term. If you require detailed help, click on 'Learn More' (listed under the Faculty Center Login).
For more information about accessing Grade or Class Rosters in PeopleSoft/HighPoint CX, consult the User Guide on the PeopleSoft Training page.
Submitting and Approving Grade Change Requests
Grade Changes for students can be submitted online through the PeopleSoft Faculty Center. Once the grade change request is submitted, the grade change request is routed into a workflow for authorized academic center representatives to approve the grade changes; once approved, the Registrar’s Office finalizes the transaction. Both faculty and approvers are able to view where the grade change resides in the workflow, and faculty receive email notifications once the requests have been processed. The final step in the workflow is the grade change request is approved the Office of the Registrar.
Consistent with the university grade change policy (PDF), if the instructor is unavailable to submit a grade change, the department chairperson may submit in place of the instructor.

Importing Grades from Canvas to PeopleSoft
Importing grades from Canvas to PeopleSoft (PDF) is possible.
The grade that is transmitted to PeopleSoft by default is referred to by Canvas as the Unposted Current Grade. This is the grade that Instructors see in the Canvas gradebook labeled as Total. Please note: this grade may differ from the grade seen by Students in their view of the gradebook, if you have assignment grades that you have not made visible to students. If all assignment grades in a course are made visible to students, then the Total displayed in both the Instructor and Student views of the gradebook will match.
Any discrepancies between the student data in Canvas/PeopleSoft will be displayed on an error report within the grade roster. Once errors have been resolved and all students have received a grade, remember to set the roster in an ‘Approved’ status so the grades can be posted. At this time grades cannot be uploaded from a spreadsheet directly into PeopleSoft.

Grading Options: Policy (PDF)
"G" Grades
"G" grades may be given when class work is unfinished because of extenuating personal circumstances that are beyond one’s control like major illness, injury, or family issues such as birth or death. The “G” grade may be assigned if the above conditions are met and the student has been making steady and satisfactory progress in the course (met the “G” grade requirements as listed in the syllabus), and the instructor believes that additional time to complete the course is warranted. Students should be able to provide evidence/documentation to substantiate their request. If a "G" grade is granted, students are instructed in writing to complete some clearly defined work (e.g. a final examination paper, etc.) within a specified period of time. The "G" must be completed no later than one year after the term or session in which the class was taken. Summer counts as a term. See : G Grade Deadline and Grading System.
This form ("G" Grade Student-Instructor Contract") is a contract between the instructor and the student. It should be prepared thoughtfully, recognizing one’s time constraints as well as the length of the extension granted by the instructor. If students fail to meet the terms of this contract, it may result in the denial of further extension and having to repeat the course if it is needed to fulfill requirements for graduation.
