Grades and Notations
The Office of the University Registrar does its best to distribute quarterly grades quickly and accurately. Grades are generally available about ten days following the end of a quarter. Students may check their grades via SISWeb. Official grades are processed only at the close of the quarter. Students who are anxious to know grades midway through the quarter should speak with their instructors. The accuracy of students' academic records is the responsibility of the Office of the University Registrar, and procedures are structured to ensure academic records are complete. If students experience any difficulties with final grade reports, they should contact their instructor first and then the Office of the University Registrar to review the situation.
