Grading
CMU expects its instructors to maintain rigorous academic standards in their courses. The student’s performance should be evaluated at the same level as is practiced on campus. We do not discourage high grades being given to students who deserve them, but expect you will assign grades which are appropriate to the student’s academic performance.
Final grades must be submitted within two weeks (14 days) of completion of the course. The course completion date is the final date listed on your contract. There is no extension for post-class assignments, if one has been assigned.
All instructors submit final grades through the Web Grades tool on the CMU Portal. A helpful step-by-step guide is available for your use by clicking here. In addition, here are a few basic tips on using Web Grades:
Communication and Cooperation
- Web Grading will open to you on the final date of class, according to your contract.
- Grades must be submitted within two weeks (14 days) of the final date of class.
- After you have entered all grades, remember to select “submit”. Although you can “save” at any time, we will not receive your grades until you officially “submit” them. You will receive an email confirmation when you have successfully submitted.
- Once you have submitted grades, they will be immediately posted on individual student records on the CMU Portal. Students must log in to the portal to view their grades in the “Academics” section.
Important: If you are using Blackboard’s Gradebook tool, you must also submit your final grades via Web Grades. Blackboard does not post grades on student records.
Remember: Do not give students their grades by phone or verbally in your course. Grades should only be provided in written format on actual assignments, Blackboard Course Grades or the CMU Portal.
