Final grade sheets are sent to department chairs for distribution to the faculty during the last full week of classes each semester. Directions accompanying the grade sheet should be noted, because changes in procedure may occur from one semester to another. By the indicated deadlines, grade sheets must be hand delivered by non-student personnel to the Registrar’s Office. To protect student confidentiality and to ensure receipt, grade sheets must never be sent though campus mail or the U.S. Postal Service. Faculty may request that the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs grant them a reasonable time extension for the submission of grades in courses with 50 or more students when the final examination is scheduled during the last three days of the examination period. The Law School, School of Medicine and Health Sciences, and the School of Public Health and Health Services faculty should follow the instructions circulated for those schools.
