Employee Handbook 32 August 2023 Affairs within two calendar days after the hearing. The Associate Dean for Academic Affairs shall report the Committee’s decision to the student within five calendar days. The decision of the Grade Appeals Committee shall be considered final. 4. Grade Reports 4.1 Midterm Grades Midterm grades are reported in Campus Connection and are due at least five days before the last day to drop classes. Each student listed on the grade report form is to receive a grade other than a “W.” 4.2. Final Grades Final grades are reported in Campus Connection and are due each semester at times established on the current academic calendar. Each student listed on the grade report form is to receive a grade other than a “W.” 4.3 Incomplete Work Incomplete grades (I) are assigned only to students who have been in attendance and performed satisfactory work up to a time within three weeks of the close of the semester, and whose work is incomplete for reasons acceptable to the instructor. The student must fulfill all requirements of the course 30 calendar days from the date that final grades were due in the semester in which the “I” was received. Eight-week sessions have a 15-calendar day requirement. If the “I” is not removed by this time, the grade is automatically changed to “F.” Students are responsible for removing incomplete grades from their record. 5. Class Lists Instructors access class lists for the courses they teach through Campus Connection and are encouraged to access lists periodically to maintain current rosters. 6. Term Schedules/Final Exams Term schedules are automatically rolled over from previous academic years. However, in the fall semester the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs will request faculty input regarding the new academic year’s term schedule. Class schedules are finalized by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs before distribution. Deviations from the previous year’s class schedule require Associate Dean for Academic Affairs’ approval. The intent is to minimize changes from year-to-year so that individual student schedule conflicts can be avoided. Faculty and advisors are responsible for reviewing draft term schedules and resolving time conflicts for the students in their programs. They are also responsible for aligning the curriculum outlines that appear in the college catalog with the term schedule.
