Faculty FAQs
I have a student in my class who is not on my Banner class roll. What should I do?
The student may have been dropped by the Bursar's Office because of non-payment or simply did not register for that class. Direct the student to the Registrar's Office so that we can advise the student about what the problem is.
I have a student in my class who needs his grade before the end of the term to meet a requirement at another institution. (This may be admission or graduation).
We will work with students who need transcripts before the end of the term, but they must advise us of their requirements as soon as possible. A transcript request must also be completed. From your standpoint, you would need to enter the course grade in Banner Web early and e-mail or call the Registrar or Assistant Registrar when this has occurred. From that point, we can complete the processing in less than one hour at most.
I have a student who will not complete the work required for my course. I want to award him an Incomplete. What do I do?
Incomplete grades are awarded at the discretion of the instructor. In addition, a student must have completed a majority of the coursework and be passing the course, but for reasons beyond control, such as illness or family emergency, could not complete course requirements. The instructor of the course and the student are to arrange for the course's completion before the end of the following semester. If the "I" is not removed, a grade of "F" is assigned to the course. Grades are due via a grade change form no later than the last day of class of the next semester. See the academic calendar link for date: .

What is the conversion for Quarters to Semesters and vice versa?
