Final grade entry

The following message will be sent the week of May 2 to all Twin Cities instructors teaching a course in spring 2016:

You are receiving this email because you are teaching a class on the Twin Cities campus for the spring 2016 semester. If you do not have grade entry responsibilities, you may disregard this message. Please note: the information below is intended to complement what you may have already received from your college or department, including processes specific to your unit.

Things you must know!

  • When verifying grade rosters, make sure you select the final grade roster from the drop down menu; the menu defaults to midterm roster (see Fig. 1). If you do not see the grade rosters you expect, please contact your department class scheduler. 
  • If grades have been transferred from Moodle, they must be approved in PeopleSoft. When you are ready to submit your grades, change the Approval Status to Approved and click Save (see Fig. 2). 

Verify access to grade rosters 
You should verify that you have access to all of your assigned grade rosters before the last day of instruction. To do this, access your Faculty Center in the MyU: Teaching tab and view the Grade Rosters for the classes you teach. When grade rosters are created, you will see an icon that looks like a person inside a square next to the class in Faculty Center. Click that icon to view the roster (see below for an example). Using the dropdown menu, verify a Final Grade roster has been created.



Class rosters and grade entry for courses owned by the School of Public Health are available only through the School of Public Health grading system. Faculty within the Medical School and the Law School typically do not access their grade rosters electronically and should contact their administrative support if they have questions.

Deadlines and NR grades
As a reminder, spring 2016 grades (full semester) are due on Wednesday, May 18 (see the complete list of grading due dates). Grades should be entered utilizing the MyU: Teaching tab by 11:59 p.m. on the date that they are due. Please remember that a grade of "NR" (Not Reported), will be given to students who are not assigned a grade by their instructor by the grading due date. Once NR grades are entered, grades cannot be uploaded or imported from Moodle, and a grade change must be done for all NR grades.

Uploading grades directly from Moodle 
Use this guide to uploading gradebooks from Moodle to the final grade roster in PeopleSoft. Make sure that the final grade roster has been created prior to uploading from Moodle. Grades will be posted nightly.

Additional resources available on One Stop Faculty website 
How-to guides on entering grades, making changes to grades, and more are available in the Grades section of the One Stop Faculty website. Grading due dates, frequently asked questions, and the grading and transcript policy are also available.
