The Faculty is reminded of its responsibility in grading and promptly returning student work/assignments. Faculty are responsible for submitting mid-semester assessments and final grades in myHill by the date established on the academic calendar. The deadline for the submission of final grades is three full business days after the end of the examination period, except for senior grades in the spring semester, which are due on the Monday immediately prior to Commencement. Once the deadline for final grade submission has passed, the Registrar’s Office will inform the Deans and Vice President for Academic Affairs of any missing grades.

Administrator’s Grading Scale
Grades of “AU”, “I”, “P”, “S”, “U”, and “W” are not assigned quality points and are not included in the computing of the quality-point average.
“IF” (Incomplete/Failure) is issued when a student has failed to meet the 30-day deadline for completing the work in an incomplete (“I”) course. An “IF” is assigned 0.00 quality points, and is calculated as an “F” when computing the students’ grade-point average.
“IP” (In Progress) is an administrative grade marker automatically assigned to any course that is currently in progress. Quality points are not assigned and are not included in the computing of the grade-point average.
“NS” (Not Submitted) is an administrative grade marker used to indicate that the instructor did not submit a grade by the final grading deadline. The “NS” will be replaced with a final grade upon receipt from the course instructor. Quality points are not assigned and the NS grade is not included in the computing of the grade-point average.
