Grades Entered for an Individual Student

  1. Select the Roster Grade drop-down list and apply the appropriate grade to the individual student(s).
  2. If you assign certain non-passing grades to students, a Last Date of Attendance becomes required. If applicable, enter the student's Last Date of Attendance.
  3. Select the Save button after entering your grades.
  4. Select the Approval Status list.  The status should be changed to Approved, but only after all grades are entered and verified for accuracy.  After the status is changed, grade change options are no longer accessible.
    1. If grade changes need to be made after saving an Approved roster, change the status back to Not Reviewed. This will allow you to make the necessary grade changes. Once the grade changes are complete, change the Approval Status back to Approved before saving.

Note: Once the grades are saved in Approved status and posted, contact the Records and Enrollment office to make changes to the posted grades.

How do we enter an incomplete and assign a tentative completion date? In the past, we would go to this page https://gradechange.highline.edu/

Hi Laura, Thank you for your question. You will enter an incomplete grade for a student and follow your college's local Grade Lapse policy. The Lapse To Grade and the Lapse Days are located on the Academic Program Table. For example, if your college's policy is 365 days and the student completed before 365 days, based on your college's business practice, Enrollment Services would perform a grade change. Here are a few helpful QRGs http://ctclinkreferencecenter.ctclink.us/m/79558/l/1013464-9-2-running-grade-lapse-process and http://ctclinkreferencecenter.ctclink.us/m/79555/l/1005520-9-2-adding-changing-or-removing-a-final-grade-via-quick-enrollment or http://ctclinkreferencecenter.ctclink.us/m/79555/l/1005562-9-2-changing-or-removing-a-final-grade-via-enrollment-request

I have entered all my grades and changed the status to "Approved" and clicked save. But the save never seems to work. Is there a separate step to Post the grades?

Tanjagay Martin

Hi Larry, Your comments are greatly appreciated. Enrollment Services will post grades based on your college's local business practice. With that in mind, all grade rosters must be set to "Approved" to post grades with the batch process. When you select "Approved" and click "Save," it signals PeopleSoft that your roster is prepared to post. Have a great day, Larry! ~Tanjagay Martin | CS Core Trainer
