GRADING STUDENTS

Enter final grades in the "Grade" column. Valid grades that can be issued: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, F, and I (incomplete). You may enter all final grades at once, or enter some grades now and some later. After entering the grades, click SUBMIT. Grades are verified the following business day.

If you try to change a grade that has already been verified, you will get an error message telling you that the grades(s) cannot be changed. If you get this message and you see that a grade is in error, you will need to fill out the on-line Grade Change form. The on-line Grade Change form can be found under the "Forms for Faculty" link in MyDelta for "Faculty". The link can also be found under the "Forms" tab when you log in to DeltaNet. Complete the form and click "Submit". The form will automatically be sent to the Dean's Office for approval. Once approved, the form is forwarded to the Registrar's Office.
