  • Reporting Grade
    The timely reporting of mid-term and final grades is essential, so it is important to adhere to the deadlines provided with the grading sheets. Mid-term grades are only sent to freshman. Final grades are due within 72 hours of administration of the exam. Web grading is now possible and all faculty are encouraged to use this convenience.

    To allow for greater precision in assigning final grades the University has adopted the mark of UW (“unofficial withdrawal”). The mark of UW would be assigned to students who: a) never attended class; b) attended so sporadically that there is no basis for assigning an earned grade; c) or who stopped attending without explanation and for whom there is insufficient basis for assigning an earned grade. The mark of UW does not affect a student’s GPA. Information on the grading system is available at http://new.stjohns.edu/services/ registrar/grades.sju.

    St. John’s University makes a wealth of information and services available to faculty via the World Wide Web.  Among these services are access to teaching schedules, to class lists, and to mid-term and final grading rosters.  What follows focuses on grade submission.

    Web submission of grades is secure and effective. Grades may be submitted from campus, home, or any other location from which you can get to the World Wide Web. The information available on the web is taken from Banner, the University’s system of record.  For the most part, this information is accurate as of the moment you access it.  Where this is not the case, you will see a notation informing you of when it was last updated.  Class rosters and grade rosters are always up-to-date.  Information is generally available from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. every day of the week.  It is usually available again for some period of time after 10 p.m., but the exact hours are difficult to predict because they depend on several behind-the-scenes activities usually performed at night. A federal law (FERPA) protects the confidentiality of student information by whatever medium that information is made available. Generally speaking, information about students, grades included, may not be shared with or released to anyone else.  If you have questions about the use of student information, please call at ext. 2336.

    To enter grades via the web, please log on to the St. John’s University website which is located at www.stjohns.edu.

A few final points.  You have as long as you need to enter your grades via the web.  However, if you do not click on “Submit Grades” within thirty minutes of beginning to enter grades, the system will “time out” and you will have to log in again.  If you need more than thirty minutes, go to the bottom of your roster and click on “Submit Grades.”  You may then return to where you left off and resume entering grades. 
Next to the “Grade” column is one headed “Rolled.” When you first access your roster via the web, the word “No” should appear there.  The day after you submit your grades, the word “Yes” should appear.  Once this happens, you may no longer submit grades via the web.  It is as though you had turned in a paper grade roster.  If you then wish to change a grade, you must follow the usual change of grade procedures in your school or college.
