“F” grades are based solely upon academic performance and “FW” are assigned to students who cease attendance without officially dropping the class anytime prior to the end of the term
Can a grade of A+ be submitted?
This is not a valid grade. It will prevent the grading page from successfully submitting and will prompt an error message
Can a grade of “W” be assigned to students who stop attending?
A “W” grade is assigned only by the registration process when a student officially drops a class through Web Advisor or at the Registrar’s Office. Entering a “W” will prevent the grading page from successfully submitting and will prompt an error message
Assign “FW” when students unofficially withdraw by ceasing attendance without dropping the class
Can a grade be left blank if I don’t have a grade for a student?
Do not leave a grade field blank – assign an “FW” January 2011 19
