Information and instructions

• As soon as an instructor enters midterm grades and hits the ‘submit’ button, those grades will be available to students.
• Midterm grades are not part of a student’s academic history at WMU. They will not appear on any WMU transcript, nor will they be part of a students gpa at WMU.
• Instructors should use the ‘X’ grade for students who have never attended, or have stopped attending a course.
• Those instructors choosing to submit midterm grades should let their students know when they submit the midterms, so that students will know to look for them.
• Instructors can also let students know that aside from the instructor who submits the grades, academic advisors will also see these midterm grades.
• If an instructor makes an error in submitting a grade, that grade can be changed online through the end of midterm grading period. No other paperwork is necessary.
