As the instructor of record for a class or section, or an authorized grade submission delegate, you can access GradePage to submit grades online to Graduation and Academic Records during the quarterly grade submission period. If you have graders, TAs, or other assistants, they can only access and assign grades on GradePage if they are Instructors of Record or grade submission delegates.
The table below provides brief explanations about the grade options that are available in the online grade submission form. For more detailed information about types of grades, visit the Grading Resources page or call the Graduations and Academic Records office at 206-543-1803. You can also view these option by clicking the information icon in the upper right of the grade submission form.
Grade Option | Description |
Numeric Grades | You may report grades in 0.1 increments between 4.0 and 0.7 for undergraduates, and between 4.0 and 1.7 for graduate students, and the grade 0.0. The grade 0.0 is assigned for failing work or if a student does not officially withdraw.0.7 is the lowest passing grade for undergraduates; 1.7 is the lowest passing grade for graduate students (though a minimum grade of 2.7 is required in courses that count toward degree requirements). Any grade you enter that is below the lowest passing grade will be rejected as invalid. |
CR (Credit) and NC (No credit) | The minimum performance level required for a CR (credit) grade is determined, and the grade awarded directly, by the instructor. Credit/No credit is not computed in GPA calculations. |
I (Incomplete) |
Instructors may grant an incomplete grade if the student has done satisfactory work to within three weeks of the last day of the quarter and if circumstances prevent the student from completing the remaining work for the course by the end of the quarter. Instructors are never obligated to grant a student's request for an Incomplete. Instructors will use the designated process for students to request and for instructors to approve the awarding of an Incomplete grade. To obtain credit for a course a grade must be submitted by the instructor of the course by the grading deadline per the Academic Calendar for the next subsequent quarter. For Spring quarter, the subsequent quarter is considered to be the Fall Quarter. This submission is done through the established late grade submission process. The submitted grade will replace the “I” on the transcript. If no grade is submitted the Incomplete will convert to a grade of 0.0 and the “I” will be removed from the official transcript. If a default grade was submitted by the instructor this grade will replace the “I” on the transcript. Courses taken CR/NC will change to a NC. In no case shall an Incomplete on the record at the time a degree is granted be subsequently changed to any other grade. The grade I shall count neither for registered hours nor in computation of grade-point averages. Instructors, on behalf of the student, may request an extension for one additional quarter beyond the original grading quarter utilizing the established extension request process. |
N (In progress) | This grade indicates that the student is making satisfactory progress and that a final grade will be given at the end of the quarter in which the work is completed. An N grade carries with it no credit or grade until a regular grade is assigned. |
W (Writing) | Undergraduate students must complete a writing credit requirement of seven credits, beyond the five-credit English composition course required of all students. The seven credits must be in "writing-intensive" courses; that is, either additional English composition courses, or W courses. In these courses, all students passing the class will automatically receive a W credit. Individual students can arrange with the instructor to receive a writing credit (W-course credit) for a non-writing course. For more information about Writing credits, see the Additional Writing section of the General Education requirements page. For information about Ws (Writing credits) by special arrangement, see the Undergraduate Advising page on writing requirements. |
X (No grade now) | X codes remain on a student's record until a grade is submitted. X codes do not affect a student's GPA, but do affect student status and eligibility for some types of financial aid. As a result, instructors should make every effort to submit grades in a timely manner. |
