Grading System
Final grades are submitted by the deadlines posted on the academic calendars.
Instructors for full-term baccalaureate courses must also submit midterm grades by the deadlines posted on the academic calendars.
All grades are submitted through the grade reporting system (currently Banner) for dissemination to both students and their advisors.

Grades are available online once submitted. Students are notified in writing when academic performance has resulted in probation, suspension or other academic action.
