ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Q&A from the Grad School/Registrar’s Office: When would I submit an ‘X’ grade via zzusis?
Instructor’s illness or absence. If you are unexpectedly unable to assign grades for your class before the deadline, assign a grade of “X” via zzusis by the deadline.
- An “X” grade is regarded as a place holder.
- An “X” grade will prevent a student from graduating.
- Be sure to submit the grades to the Registrar’s Office as soon as possible so that the “X” grade is replaced with a final grade.
- Please also keep in mind when entering an “X” grade, Financial Aid views an “X” grade as not satisfactory progress towards the degree. This means that an “X” grade will affect a student’s financial aid status.
I have students who never attended or stopped attending my class. What grade should I submit via zzusis?
Give all students listed in zzusis the grade earned during the term. All names listed should be graded and not left blank.
- A student is more likely to take action with an “F” grade than with a blank grade.
- A blank grade will prevent a student from graduating.
Note: All outstanding incomplete work (including grades of I, X, and blank/no grade) must be completed and posted to the official transcript prior to the conferral of an undergraduate or professional degree. Deadline to Submit Final Grades via zzusis Tuesday May 12, 2015 by 5pm
