  When you finish entering grades, remember to click Submit Grades.

 GRADING EXCEPTIONS:

• Students who officially withdrew from college after the drop period have a note stating "Withdrawn" in the "Reg. Status/Date" field. Use the drop down grades available and give these students the grade they were receiving at the time of withdrawal. If, at the time of withdrawal, no grade was established, choose "N". Please note: The system will translate the letter grades into the appropriate grade,
  WP (withdrew passing), WF (withdrew failing), WN (withdrew with no grade established).
• Students who never attended class and did not withdraw should be given the appropriate grade for the course (E). Put the first day of the semester in the "Last Attend Date" field (i.e. 05/26/2009 for Summer) and put "0" in the "Attend Hours" field.
• Students who stopped attending class and did not withdraw should be given the grade they earned in the course for the entire semester. Put the last day you remember having them in your course in the "Last Attend Date" field and leave the "Attend Hours" field blank.

If a student attended class all semester and earned an E grade,
please put the last day of your class in the "Last Attend Date" field
