Grade Submission Policy

Policy Statement

Course grade submissions are due from faculty 48 hours after the last final exam time scheduled for the semester.

Rationale

To modify the grading submission date so there is one final submission time. The current grade submission deadline is 48 hours post last final time by faculty member.

Applicability of the Policy

This policy applies to all SUNY Oneonta faculty.

Policy Elaboration

Faculty have until 48 hours after the last final exam time scheduled for the semester to electronically submit course grades for all students, including incomplete and pending grades, via Faculty Services.

Definition

• Course Grade: the grade assigned to a student at the conclusion of a course.
• Incomplete (“I”): A grade assigned temporarily upon student request when the student has faced unexpected circumstances and cannot complete the course as scheduled. To be eligible for an incomplete, the student must have completed most of the work of the course and must be able to complete the remainder without additional faculty instruction.
• Pending (“PEN”): A pending grade may be assigned when an instructor discovers a specific skill or deficiency (writing or reading) in a student's work, but not in place of an "E" grade or an "I". Students who receive a "PEN" grade are required to start remediation during the next semester in residence.

Procedures

Faculty electronically submit course grades for all students in Faculty Services by the deadline of 48 hours after the last final exam time scheduled for the semester.
