Instructions
1. Access your list of current course sections.
2. Select the course section for which you are submitting final grades.
3. Open the Grading tab to view your class roster. The Overview and Final Grade sections will appear.
4. Select the Final Grade tab. Identify the Final Grade column.
5. Click on the Select Grade drop-down box to select the final grade for each student. You do not need to enter all grades at once.
6. If you are awarding an F grade, you will be prompted to enter the last date of attendance. If you are awarding an I (Incomplete) grade, you will be prompted to enter both the last date of attendance and the expiration date of the incomplete agreement with the student, which must be before the end of the following term. All I grades issued must follow the current policy and must have a Student-Faculty Agreement on Incomplete Grade in place.
Students originally marked as Never Attending
Students who remain enrolled (i.e., not dropped or withdrawn) and who were reported as “Never Attended” will continue to appear on your class roster without the option to enter a grade. The Office of the Registrar will identify them and assign an NS grade on your behalf.
However, if a student attended class at any time or submitted any assignments, you must remove the “Never Attended” flag so that you can enter a final grade. Likewise, if you notice an enrolled student who should have been reported as “Never Attended,” you may update their record now. Please note that this is the final opportunity to make changes to attendance reporting in the system.
Students auditing or who elected pass/fail
Good news! The new MyColumbia system requires you to enter a letter grade for any student who elected to audit or take your course as pass/fail. After the Office of the Registrar certifies your submissions, these grades will automatically be updated to reflect the student’s chosen grading option. This process also ensures that, if a grade needs to be reverted to a standard letter grade, your original entry will be preserved.
