Grade Submission
DEADLINE
Grades are due 96 hours after the final exam for each class (excluding Saturday and Sunday). Click here for the documented grading policy (within the Provost's Office Academic Policies and Procedures Manual). Grading for all terms is governed in accordance with this policy.
If you have missed the deadline or you have made errors in the original grade entry, please contact your department, associate dean, or the Registrar's Office. They can instruct you on how to obtain Change of Grade forms.
Please Note: If a person is unable to adhere to the policies above, please contact your dean, associate dean, or department head for more information.
GRADE ENTRY DETAILS
Grade Entry
A grade must be entered for each student on your list prior to the deadline. If a student did not attend or complete your course, an F grade must be assigned. Do not leave blanks. If necessary, a student has the right to pursue an Academic Record Adjustment to straighten out or challenge potential registration errors.
Last Attend Date
(LEFT BLANK EXCEPT):
If you assign an F grade to a student, please complete the "Last Attend Date" field (if known).
The last date a student participates in any academically related activity is his or her "Last Attend Date." This includes submitting assignments, taking exams or quizzes, and attendance at labs, study sessions, or tutorials. The "Last Attend Date" for any student who took the final exam is the date of the final.
Students who stop attending and/or participating before 60 percent of the semester is complete may be required to repay some federal financial aid. Graders may ignore the "Attend Hours" field.
GRADE PROCESSING DETAILS
Fall and spring terms: Beginning the first day of Finals Week, submitted grades move to Academic History daily (approximately 4 p.m.). All grades submitted prior to this point become available for viewing via the unofficial transcript (approximately 6 p.m.) after this process is completed. Blackboard users, please note: If you use the grading process in Blackboard, discovered mistakes or changes can be corrected in ACCESS prior to this process.
Summer term: Following the last day of courses for a session (Click here) for session details), grades are rolled for seven calendar days. During summer term, instructors may request grade rolls outside of noted calendar dates at schedule@usu.edu.
All submitted grades are FINALIZED during this process. Please input FINAL grades ONLY. "Unentered Grades" remain unaffected by this process. If a grade is submitted and this ROLL occurs, the grade is now OFFICIAL, and any change requires the Change of Grade form. This form may be requested through your department or college offices, or in the Registrar's Office (with Photo ID).
Grade entry is done via ACCESS, Blackboard, or Faculty Assistant. Grade sheets are no longer distributed. If an Internet connection is unavailable, contact your department or college computer support for the appropriate solution.
Need to change your password? Contact the IT Service Desk at (435) 797-HELP. Provide the requested information, and you will be contacted via e-mail, alerting you when the change occurs.
If you have questions about ACCESS, please contact the Registrar's Office at (435) 797-1101 or Shane Livingston in the Registrar's Office.
