Ensure you can login to HomerConnect (and Duo) and access the Faculty Grade Entry. If you need assistance, please contact registrar@ithaca.edu

Review your roster:

  • Are all the students attending your class on the roster?
  • Do you have students that have never attended?
  • If you have questions regarding the status of the students on your roster, contact registrar@ithaca.edu
  • This will reduce the number of NGS (no grade submitted) grades.

Make sure you have selected the Final Grades tab in the top left corner of the page.

Pro Tip:

You can use the search box for any of the set parameters listed such as Subject, Course, Title, Term or CRN to make finding your course easier.

Once you find your course, click on it. This will open the grade entry section. Please note that a new page will not open. Simply scroll down to see this page. You can then use the drop down menu to select a letter grade for each student.

Things to Remeber

Last Attendance Date (LAD): This only needs to be assigned for students that have a final grade of F. If you are assigning a grade of F to a student, you will need to enter the LAD to be able to save the grade roster. If you are assigning a grade of F to a student who has never attended your class, please enter the LAD as the first day of the term or block: 

  • Block I began on 8/26/2024

When students receive federal aid and fail to successfully complete one course within a given semester (for example, earning all F’s), we are required to determine the last day the student attended class or engaged in an academic activity.
