This is an opportunity to prepare for easy final grading by ensuring that:

  • Are all the students attending your class on your class roster?
  • Are all the students on your class roster attending your class?
  • If you are teaching PALS, confirm your students are participating in the appropriate sport.

If you have issues with any of the above situations, please email registrar@ithaca.edu.

Block I Grading:

The Incomplete grade form for Block I grades will be available in IC Workflow beginning 8:00am, Friday, October 6, 2023, until 5:00 pm, Friday, October 20, 2023.

(Reminder, a grade of incomplete is not an option in HomerConnect). To award a grade of Incomplete, leave the grade blank in HomerConnect, and use the request form titled Incomplete Grade Request in IC workflow.

Midterm Grades: Required

“It is College policy that by the midpoint of each semester all students be evaluated in each course in which they have enrolled. The method of evaluation is to be determined by each faculty member. This assessment is reflected in a midterm grade submitted to the Office of the Registrar in accordance with the schedule published by that office. The only exception to this policy is in those block courses that conclude in half a semester.

Deans and directors deal with this policy as it relates to the individual faculty members and courses within their school.”

Midterm grade requirements can be found in the college catalog.
