Online final grading for Fall 2023 (POT 1, F3, W2) begins Friday, Dec. 8, 2023, via FlashFAST. Grading is also now available for any Fall 2023 course section that was flexibly scheduled. The deadline for grading submission is 11:59 pm on Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2023. Any final grades for Fall 2023 courses not reported in FlashFAST by the grades processing deadline will have to be submitted using the Grade Change Workflow. These Fall 2023 courses will be available in the Workflow on Thursday, Dec. 21, 2023.
Submit Final grades using Final Grades roster
To submit final grades via the Final Grades roster, log in to then click Faculty & Advisors/Faculty Dashboard/Grading Resources. Locate Final Grades to submit grades.
Submit Final grades using Canvas Grade Push
If you use Canvas, the Grade Push Application is designed to allow for all grades in a section to be pushed from Canvas to the Final Grades roster at once. This eliminates the time and effort spent manually entering them. The Grade Push Application will be active during the final grading window of your course sections.
To access the Grade Push application, log in to then click Faculty & Advisors/Faculty Dashboard/Grading Resources and select Canvas Final Grade Push to submit grades.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the Grade Push application, please direct them to .
Please Note: The Grade Push application has been developed as an option to assist in streamlining the university grading process. The use of this application is not mandatory, though it is encouraged.
Incomplete Mark Workflow
The instructor must create and submit an Incomplete Mark contract via the workflow. Instructors are no longer able to select the incomplete mark (IB+, IC+, IC-, etc.) from the final grade roster in FlashFAST (Self-Service Banner). The primary instructor must initiate and submit the contract using this new workflow process, which mimics the old paper process. Once the contract has been accepted by the student and approved by the department chair/campus dean, the student’s grade will be updated automatically. The primary instructor will be able to initiate and submit the contract for a student after the deadline to withdraw (10th week of a regularly scheduled section in fall and spring or prorated for flexibly scheduled sections) through the end of final grading.
Access the Incomplete Mark workflow in FlashLine from the Faculty Dashboard under Grading Resources or Faculty Workflows.
NF/SF Administrative Marks
The administrative mark NF (Never Attended–Fail) denotes that the student neither attended one class session nor formally withdrew from the course. If a student has never attended your course, mark the student as “Not Started†on the Academic Presence Verification Roster, and the NF will automatically populate to your Final Grades roster.
The administrative mark SF (Stopped Attending–Fail) denotes that the student stopped attending the course and did not formally withdraw and must be accompanied by a date of last attendance in the course. If a student has stopped attending your course the SF can be entered on the Final Grade Roster along with the student’s last date of attendance.
For complete information on university grading policies including Incomplete Mark and NF/SF grading policies, procedures and timelines, please visit the section in the University Catalog.
