Final grades for Fall 2009 will be submitted by faculty via the new Campus Solutions (CSS) system. The previous system of "bubble sheet" entry of grades will no longer be used. Grades for summer 2009 were submitted using the CSS system but for faculty who did not teach during the summer sessions, Fall semester will be the first opportunity for submission of final semester grades via CSS. A demonstration of the final grade submission process will be offered on the following dates and times. The demonstration will "walk" attendees through both the process of entering grades via Faculty Center as well as the process for entering via Blackboard.
A web page detailing the final grade submission process provides an online tutorial for entering grades via Faculty Center, an online tutorial for entering grads via Blackboard, as well as a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) listing.
