Faculty and Staff Frequently Asked Questions

Degree grades are preliminary grades submitted to the Registrar's Office to aid in graduation clearance. These grades are not final grades and can be changed once all course material has been graded.

Final grades are grades that will appear on students’ official transcript.

Once students have applied for graduation, any outstanding thesis/dissertation grades can be submitted via an EForm. Only the student’s committee chair can submit these grades.

Final grades for all terms (fall, spring and summer) are due 5 calendar days following the scheduled final exam date, excluding Sundays and holidays if applicable. Do not wait until the due date to submit grades. It will assist us and your students if your grades are submitted as soon as possible.

Failure to submit final grades by the assigned deadline will result in continued communication from the Registrar's Office regarding these grades. If grades are still not submitted, then students will be assigned an NR or “no report” on their official transcript.

For classes offered from 2010 to the present day, grade changes can be submitted through MyRED.

Thesis/Dissertation grade changes must be submitted through an EForm. View grade change form instructions.

The purpose of the Correction Roster is to give you the opportunity to review a current listing of students registered in your course and verify important course information, i.e., grade type, etc. This process assists us in furnishing accurate and complete final grade rosters in the collecting and processing of final grades and in the proper assessment of tuition and fees.

When correction rosters are due, instructors will receive an email with information regarding when the correction roster is due, how to complete the roster and its significance.

For these purposes, attendance is otherwise known as “academic attendance” or “attendance at an academic-related activity” and is defined to include, but not be limited to, the following:

• Physically attending a class where there is an opportunity for direct interaction between the instructor and students,
• Submitting an academic assignment,
• Taking an exam, interactive tutorial or computer-assisted instruction,
• Attending a study group that is assigned by the institution,
• Participating in an online discussion about academic matters and
• Initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a question about the academic subject studied in the course.

Students must already be enrolled in a course as a regular student before the grading basis can be changed to audit. View more audit information.
