The Last Days of Class
1. Talk with your students before they take the final exam to ensure they know their current grade.
Remind students to continue working closely with you and to use the library, the Academic Support Center and other college resources to strengthen their learning and increase their success rates.
2. Be sure that students you have approved for grades of "I" complete the attached contract. The contract does not need to be shared with your chair or dean. It is meant to help students focus. You should keep the contract on file and provide a copies to your students. Be sure your students list their current contact information on the contact so you can call or email them if necessary. Remember, it is your responsibility to work closely with students you have approved to receive an "I" grade. You are welcome to modify the Student Incomplete Agreement as you feel necessary.
3. If you issued "I" grades from fall 2014 through summer 2015, and your students have not completed the work, please contact them and remind them that they have until December 11th to complete the work or the "I" grade will automatically convert to an F. In past years, students who received an "I" had 12 months to complete the course. As of the beginning of the Fall 2015 semester, the completion period was changed to 4 months. This means that any student who is issued an "I" during the fall 2015 semester has until the end of the spring 2016 semester to complete the course.
4. Students who request an instructor withdrawal (grade of "W") should have a specific reason that is typically due to circumstances beyond their control. Before agreeing to issue a faculty withdrawal, be sure to talk with your students about other options such as an incomplete grade if that is appropriate given the reason for request and ability to complete the work. If you are unsure about issuing a "W" or an "I" grade, talk with your department chair or dean.
5. Please be sure to remind your classes of their final exam date.
6. Be sure to enter all grades no later than December 11th by 8 pm. Students depend upon grade entry for graduation, future semester enrollment, financial aid/scholarship eligibility, military enlistment, employment and other reasons. If you experience any challenges entering grades, contact Karen Chapdelaine at 462-7465 or via email at [email protected].
7. Please encourage your students to register for the spring semester. Students who need support with registration, financial aid or other educational services issues, should contact their assigned advisor. If they are unsure who their advisor is, they can contact any advisor.
