5.3          Mid-Term Grades

One week prior to mid-term in the semester, faculty members will receive a memo instructing them to enter students’ grades via the Web.  The memo will list each course and course request number (CRN) that the instructor is listed as teaching within Banner.  Instructions for entering mid-term grades appear in Appendix E. 

When entering grades, faculty should note that:

l           Students who show an AU or a W in the grade column have already been graded on the mid-term grade sheet.  Faculty should not attempt to change these grades.

l           A grade of W will be assigned only for those students who show a drop period 2, 3 or 4 or withdrew period 2, 3 or 4 in the Reg.Status/Date column (A grade of P or F should be assigned for those students with a PF Reg.Status). 

l           If grades or last dates of attendance are entered incorrectly, they will not be stored.

l            Faculty should check to see that grades are assigned for all students on all pages of the roster. 

l           To view entered grades, return to the class roll.

l           To print a copy of midterm grades, navigate to www.utm.edu/reports.

Submission of grades by the deadline listed in the memo is vital.  Department chairs also need contact information (telephone numbers) for all faculty in case questions arise related to the grades.
