Availability of Grades

 The Office of the Registrar will have grades posted to the student's record within a day after the rosters are approved (from Onestart Self Service) or submitted (from Oncourse) to our office. Students may check their grades over the internet via Onestart.  We ask that you not post grades on the wall outside of your classroom, in the department, or on the web. Federal law prohibits sharing "personally identifiable information" with any third party which means you may not post a list which contains names or full student numbers.

Grades via Onestart are only available for final grades and not for mid-terms or individual exams. We recognize that in certain large sections, posting grades in some common location may be the most efficient way to share the results with students. If you conclude you have no other way of getting the student the grade, we ask that you not show the student's name or nine-digit student number. You may wish to use the last four numbers of the student id, but we ask that if at all possible the numbers be presented in numerical rather than alphabetical order. Taking this step makes it more difficult for others to learn how students with names beginning with A or Y/Z did or those whose names are just before or after that of a curious student. Naturally, it would be even better if you can share the grade with the student individually, whether on a returned examination or through an e-mail message.
