Faculty Grading

You must submit a grade change card to the Registrar’s Office. To change a grade of I to a grade of F requires the signature of the instructor. The department chair signature is not required.

The student must complete an Academic Appeal form requesting an extension beyond the contract end date. The appeal should be accompanied by a letter supporting the extension from the instructor who assigned the original incomplete grade or the department chair.

To give a student a grade of I (incomplete), you must record a grade of I on the grade roster. When you submit the grade, an Incomplete Contract Page will automatically appear and you must enter the contract details. The student will be notified that they have a Registrar’s To Do Item on myBoiseState. That is where the student will have access to the Incomplete Contract terms.

Valid contracts should reference work or assignments that must be completed by the student to receive a grade. A contract cannot direct the student to retake the course. Blank incomplete contracts are converted to a grade of F, when grades are made official.

If, at the end of one year, no Grade Change card has been received by the Registrar’s Office, a grade of F will automatically be posted. No further action is required.

You can make grade changes for the current semester through myBoiseState, until the deadline. To change a grade after the deadline, you may complete a paper Grade Change Card or send an email with the following information to specialregistrations@boisestate.edu.

Please only include one grade change/student per email. The email request must come from the .boisestate.edu domain. Hard copy Grade Change Cards can be obtained from your department or the Registrar’s Office.

Depending on the type of grade change, the following signature(s) are needed to change:

• An incomplete to a grade – instructor signature only (unless required by the department)
• A grade to another grade – both instructor and chair signature
• A grade to an incomplete – both instructor and chair signature
• A missing grade to a grade – both instructor and chair signature

Additionally, instructions on how to grade courses are emailed to all faculty.

A grade roster cannot be submitted if it contains missing grades.

The Registrar’s Office will assist you with this. Click on the “Questions? Ask the Registrar’s Office” link at the bottom of the grade roster to send an email to the Registrar’s Office. Be sure to include the student’s name, student number, and what class and section this is for.

Assign that student the grade of F. Upon submitting the grade online, indicate on the “F Grade Page” that the student never attended class.

The Registrar’s Office will assist you with this. Click on the “Questions? Ask the Registrar’s Office” link at the bottom of the grade roster to send an email to the Registrar’s Office. Be sure to include the class number and what the grading basis should be. Do not submit grades with the incorrect grading basis.

The grade due dates for each session can be found on the Academic Calendars webpage in the corresponding semester. The dates will be in the table at the top of each page for each session. These dates do not mean the grades are official. The grades are not considered official until all grades for the semester have been processed.

To better serve students, it is expected that grades for each session should be submitted and available to students a week after the session has ended. In order to make grades official, the Registrar’s Office must run several processes. After grades are made official, financial aid can be disbursed, transcripts can be sent, and degrees can be awarded.

After submitting your grade roster, students will be able to see their grades in their Student Center on myBoiseState.
