Faculty Grading
Faculty must enter final grades through the Final Grades page in MySeaport during the grading period each term, as outlined in the Faculty Handbook. Incomplete grades require department chair approval and must follow the Incomplete Grade Assignment procedure.
Grades are “rolled” to student transcripts nightly. Once rolled, changes must be submitted through the Grade Change process rather than the Final Grades page.
Last Day of Attendance
For students receiving an Failing or Unsatisfactory, the last day of attendance is required to meet federal aid reporting rules. Attendance may include: attending class, using a clicker, submitting coursework, joining assigned study groups, participating in online discussions, or contacting the instructor about the course. Simply logging into an online course does not count.
If a student never attended, enter the first day of class (recorded as 0% attendance for reporting purposes).
Advanced Grading
Incomplete assignments, incomplete-to-final conversions, and grade changes can all be processed online. Instructor actions, chair and dean approvals, and record updates are handled electronically and take effect immediately.
Department chairs needing to submit forms on behalf of inactive instructors should contact the Office of the Registrar.
