Midterm Grading Using HomerConnect

Audience

This article is intended for faculty.

“It is College policy that by the midpoint of each semester all students be evaluated in each course in which they have enrolled. The method of evaluation is to be determined by each faculty member. This assessment is reflected in a midterm grade submitted to the Office of the Registrar in accordance with the schedule published by that office. The only exception to this policy is in those block courses that conclude in half a semester. Deans and directors deal with this policy as it relates to the individual faculty members and courses within their school.”
