Grade submission process and reminder

All grades are due by 11:59 p.m. on their due date. The grading due date for undergraduate and graduate regular session classes is Monday, May 16, 2022.

• For undergraduate grades, please remember to change any incomplete (I) grades you assigned in fall 2021 to final grades. Any undergraduate I grades from these terms will automatically change to an F if a final grade is not entered by the due date.
• I, K, and X grading symbols are special placeholders to be used in limited circumstances when a final grade can’t be entered at the time grades are due. These grading symbols can have negative consequences for students.

It is important to enter grades accurately and on time since it can affect the academic success of students. If any grade is left blank, it will be posted as NR (not reported) once the due date passes. After that, the process of grade entry becomes more complex as instructors will not be able to upload or import grades to change the NRs. They must individually change NR grades in Faculty Center.

One-time only late withdrawal

As a reminder, the one-time only late withdrawal can be used up to and including the last day of instruction for a course. However, students cannot withdraw after completing the final examination or its equivalent.

Gap year resources

For students considering a gap year, a new website with resources is now available. Compiled by career services staff across the University of Minnesota, Gap Year Resources covers the different benefits, considerations, and options of taking a gap year between college and graduation education or career.

This site is meant to be a resource that will be updated consistently, so it can stay current with new opportunities and ensure that guidance provided is in line with best practices.

FERPA Q&A

Q: What should you do if you receive a request to confirm a degree for a student in your program?

A: You have a couple of options. First, you can always direct these inquiries to the Office of the Registrar at otr@umn.edu. Second, if you want to verify this information you must first check if the student has a suppression on his or her record. If the student has a full suppression you cannot share any information about the student, including confirming whether they attended the university. If the student does not have a full suppression, you may release the information.

Fall 2022 appointment times

On Monday, March 28, registration appointment times will be posted for students in MyU, with fall 2022 registration beginning on Thursday, April 14. Students can find their appointment time by logging into MyU and selecting the "Academics" tab, then selecting the "Registration" sub-tab (how-to instructions are available). The registration times are available on One Stop.

If a student’s appointment time is incorrect, please contact One Stop Student Services (onestop@umn.edu) with the student's internet ID, student ID, and name. One Stop will verify if the appointment time is incorrect. If it is, the appointment can be manually adjusted for a particular student.

One Stop website upgrade update

The One Stop website upgrade is scheduled to go live in July, 2022. This upgrade from the Drupal 7 to Drupal 9 content management system will include a few key updates, including a transition to the central University Relations created Folwell design theme as well as some select feature updates based on student-centered usability testing findings. Early this summer, student services staff will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the new site before it goes live for students.

Vax 2.0 update

As a reminder, all students enrolled online or in-person must complete the Student COVID-19 Immunization Vaccination form. Students who have not completed the vaccination form have a registration hold preventing them from registering for fall 2022 classes and future terms. An automated process runs each night to remove holds for students who have completed their form or who have an approved exemption. For more information, see the Get the Vax 2.0 website.
