PROPOSAL 9-13
(Voting Units: Academic)
“MID TERM GRADE PROPOSAL”
Background
Mid-term
grade reporting was moved from the end of week 7 to the end of week 6 giving
students additional time after receiving mid-term grades to decide whether to remain
in a course. With the last day to drop a course moving from week 8 back to week
10, mid-term reporting can move to back to week 7 giving faculty more time to
assess mid semester student performance.…………………….…..
Proposal
1) Change mid-term
reporting from the end of week 6
of the semester to the end of week 7. (ref. Policy 309.1)
Mid-Term Grades A mid-semester grade will be given to
each first-year student enrolled in a course offered for credit. Mid-semester grades will not be considered
permanent and thus will not be recorded on the academic transcript.
A standard grading system shall be
used by all course instructors.
