Subject: Faculty CR/NC and Final Grading Updates
Good morning, Deans and Department Chairs.
In light of all the changes to the spring semester, I wanted to send out the following announcements and information concerning final grades for the spring 2020 semester. Please pass this information along
to your faculty.
The Registrar’s Office will be sending information to students this week about how to select the Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) option. In that email, we are highlighting that students should already have been
notified by their instructors which courses have the CR/NC option.
With the implementation of the Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) option for the Spring semester, we have experienced a couple of issues as to why grading is more complicated this semester:
We are researching additional options, but unfortunately this is our current system. With these issues in mind and for other impacts of the CR/NC option, please re-familiarize yourself with the following:
Final grade submission will be consistent with University policy; the only difference is that students may have requested a grade of CR/NC depending upon availability in the course. Faculty can enter
final grades for their students on the web
(Blackboard preferred) beginning May 7 and must be completed by May 18 at 2:00pm.
o
Last Day of Classes: May 8 (Friday)
o
Student Study Days: May 9 & 10
o
Final Exams: May 11-15 (No Finals on Saturday or Sunday)
o
Deadline to submit year-old "IN" grade changes: May 18. Year-old "IN" grades converted to "F" (undergraduate only) at 5 p.m.
o
Final Grade Entry Period: May 7-18, 2 p.m.
o
Grades Due: May 18, 2 p.m. (Monday)
The Registrar's Office will begin "rolling" final grades to academic history on May 18 at 2:00pm. From the time that you first enter your grades to the point just prior to when grades are rolled to
history, you can change your assigned grades as often as you feel necessary. Grades will not be available for students to view until they are rolled to history. However, once grades are rolled to history they become available for students to view on their
ASAP Web site. As this semester has been fraught with changes, we will do one more grade roll on May 19 at 2:00pm. At this point, you will no longer be able to update/change them on the Final Grade Web page. In the event that you need to change a grade that
has been rolled, you may submit an Online Grade Change for undergraduate students. For graduate students, you must complete a paper grade change form and submit this form to your Dean's Office.
Thank you so much for working with our office and with the students to mitigate the ramifications of such an unusual semester. If you have additional questions, please reach out for more information and continue
to monitor the UTSA COVID-19 website: http://www.utsa.edu/coronavirus/index.html.
