Grades
Mid-term grades
Five days before the last day to drop a course without penalty, instructors are to inform their students of their course standing so that students can seek advice from their advisors if they feel it necessary. Instructors are to have available an indication of the relative standing of each student for the use of the Dean should such information be requested.
Release of grades to students
Instructors are requested not to give any information regarding mid-year or final grades to students. Students should obtain final grades from the Registrar's Office only, through Colleague Self-Service.

Instructors are to provide the Registrar's Office with student grades, both at mid-year and at the final examination. The final grades shall be based on both the class standing and the grade obtained on the final examination.
