25 Final Grades, Grade Changes, and Appeals
Final grades: Final grades can be posted in one of two ways– through Canvas or directly into MySLCC.
For Canvas:
- Sign into Canvas account and navigate to the specific course.
- Make sure grades are either Current Grade or Final Grade in the Grades Window.
- Enable a class-grading scheme.
- Submit Final Grades.
- When grade(s) are correct, check the verify box on the right.
- After the grade(s) are ready to submit, click on the Submit Final Grades button at the bottom of the page.
Grades with a green check mark are successfully submitted. - Canvas grades roll to the Banner academic history periodically throughout the day.
For MySLCC:
- Log into MySLCC Faculty Tab
- Click Final Grades
- Select term and submit.
- Select a class from the drop-down box and submit.
- Scroll down and begin grading – continue to Page 2 if you have more than 25 students. Note: E grades require a last date of attendance (LDA). Format for LDA = MM/DD/YYYY. See LDA information below.
- Make sure to log out of MySLCC when finished posting grades.
Changing grades:
Sometimes mistakes happen or late work comes in, and you need to change a student’s final grade. In that case, email the department administrative assistant the following information:
- Class subject, number and section
- Course Registration Number (CRN)
- Term
- Student name
- Student number
- Previous earned grade
- Requested earned grade
Please Note: E grades must include a last date of attendance with the following format MM/DD/YYYY. W and AU grade changes should be sent to enrollmentexceptions@slcc.edu.
Once completed, an email will be sent to the sender.
Grade appeals:
From the Student Code of Conduct:
Student Appeal of a Grade
- When a student believes the final grade he/she received in a course is inaccurate, he/she should make an appointment with the instructor who issued the grade or status and explain the reason for this belief.
- This process must be initiated within 30 calendar days of receiving the grade. The instructor and the student should make every effort to resolve the issue. It is expected that most, if not all, misunderstandings will be resolved at this level.
- If the grade or status issue is not resolved with the faculty member, the student meets with the appropriate program director or associate dean. If the grade or status issue is not resolved with the appropriate program director or associate dean, the student may appeal in writing, to the appropriate Academic dean.
- The Academic dean will review the appeal and render a decision based upon the student’s written appeal.
- The decision of the Academic dean is final and may not be appealed.
