Error Message Samples from Invalid Grades WebAdvisor will not accept submissions containing invalid grades or blank expire dates on I* grades. It will note errors on top of the grading page in red letters, identifying whose records on the roster need correcting. Invalid grades must be removed and errors corrected to successfully SUBMIT the grading entries on your grade roster. June 2013 14
Submitting Incomplete Grades When issuing an incomplete grade, instructors will assign the grade the student would have earned by assessing scores on all graded requirements, preceded by an "I" (for example, "IC-", "ID+"). Enter an Expire Date (MM/DD/YY) reflecting the deadline for the incomplete. The maximum deadline for removal of an Incomplete is one year from the first day of the term in which the Incomplete was recorded, unless a shorter period of time is specified by the instructor. If the agreed upon remaining coursework is not completed in the period allotted, the letter grade issued with the "I" will become the final grade. If the instructor determines that the student would receive an "F" grade if the coursework is not completed, then an "I" (without a letter grade) with an expire date, is submitted for the final grade. Incomplete grade of IB will become the final grade at the expire date. To review the complete grading policy, see the University Catalog at: www.chapman.edu/academics/catalogs June 2013 15

When should an F be assigned vs. an FW F grades are based solely upon academic performance and FW are assigned to students who cease attendance without officially dropping the class anytime prior to the end of the term Can a grade of A+ be submitted? This is not a valid grade. It will prevent the grading page from successfully submitting and will prompt an error message Can a grade of W be assigned to students who stop attending?
