Grade reporting deadlines are established so that:
1. Grades for graduating seniors are available in sufficient time to allow for
checking the final semester's work to assure that graduation requirements have
been met and;
2. Students who are academically dropped for unsatisfactory scholarship can
be notified of that fact prior to the beginning of the next semester.
Two grade-reporting options are available to faculty:
1. Faculty are encouraged to use the Web based grading services offered through
eLion. To use this service, the faculty member must be assigned a SecurID card.
2. Faculty may use paper-based grade rosters, where either department staff
or Registrar office staff using the ISIS system will perform the recording of
grades on behalf of the faculty.
The Office of the University Registrar is responsible for distributing grade
reporting instructions to the faculty, academic department, college, and campus
offices. Faculty will be notified through use of the Penn State e-mail system
when their course is ready to be graded. Courses may be graded starting the
day following the defined calendar end-date of the course. Grades are to be
recorded no later than two business days after the final examination or final
course assessment.
