Tips & FAQ
Entering Term Final Grades
- Log in to Banweb (please note: in order for grades to appear on a student's record, they must be entered directly in Banweb and not Canvas), if you are having trouble logging in, please contact the OIT HELP Desk at 5-4357.
- Select Faculty Services
- Click on Final Grades
- Select the term and your course
- Select the CRN (Course Reference Number) from the pull down list of your CRN listings. Click Submit CRN. This will bring a list of all registered students in your course/section. If no students are registered, this message will appear: “Stop. There are no students registered for: [course name, number, section]”
- Select a Grade from the pull down menu for each student you wish to grade at this time.
Grade Mode Column
The Grade Mode column following the Grade field will identify the grading mode of the course and the grading option selected by the student at the time of registration. This Grade Mode controls which grades are valid for the student. Only valid grades are displayed in the Grade pull down menu. For example: A grade mode of P/NP in the grade mode column indicates that only a Pass or No Pass grade can be assigned, not A-F.
Missing Grades
Selecting no grade (‘None’) in the Grade field will result in automatic assignment of a mark of M for missing grade after the final grade submission deadline. M grades will change to a grade of X, one term after the initial term. Once converted to an X, cannot be changed. All Student inquiries regarding M grades are referred to the instructor.
Registration Status Column
A "W" in this field indicates that the student has withdrawn from the course, resulting in mark of W. W marks cannot be changed by instructors.
After entering grades for the course, click on Submit Changes. You may change or override your final grades an unlimited number of times until the end of the grading period.
Last Date of Attendance (LDA)
At the time of online grade submission in Banweb, instructors must enter a last date of attendance (LDA) or the date of the last academically-related activity for each student who is assigned a grade of F, NP or X
For more information, visit the Last Date of Attendance information page.
