Using Oncourse CL Official Final Grades, how do I submit final grades?
The faculty of record for a course, or a designated proxy, may
submit grades via Oncourse CL using the Official Final
Grades tool. To access the tool, in the menubar of your course site,
click Official Final Grades.
Note: The Official Final Grades tool does not appear in combined course sites. If you have a combined course site, you must navigate to each of your individual "registrar-based" sites (i.e., sections) to use the Official Final Grades tool. For more information, see Submitting final grades for combined course sites.
If you have kept grades on paper or outside of Oncourse CL, you can
enter them manually as letter grades into the "Grade Input" field. You
can also import grades from a spreadsheet in .csv
format. For instructions, see Importing grades from a spreadsheet into the Official Final Grades tool. Otherwise, you can import grades from an Oncourse
CL gradebook. To do so, follow these steps:
- To import the course grade, select the radio button next to
Yes, I used the Oncourse CL gradebook and I want to import the Course Grade. The course grade will be automatically imported from the associated gradebook for that site. For more information on how course grades are calculated, see How course grades are calculated.Note: If you used the Gradebook in a combined course site, when preparing final grades for each of your individual "registrar-based" sites (i.e., sections), use the above option to import course grades from the combined site.
- All grades to be submitted must be letter grades (e.g.,
A,A-,B+). If you give a grade ofFN(Failing/Nonattendance), then you must type a date of last attendance into the designated field. Other valid letter grades areFNN(Failing/Nonattendance, never attended class),I(Incomplete), andR(Deferred). A grade ofS(Satisfactory) may be used for courses with an S/F, S/F2, or non-credit grading basis, designated in the Schedule of Classes.Note: Grades of
W(Withdrawn),NC(No Credit), andZZ(Administrative Placeholder Grade) are entered automatically; you cannot edit them. - If there is an entry for a student in the "RD Option" field, then you
must make a selection in the "Requirement Designation Grade" field for
that student. The "Designation" field describes the basis of the
requirement.
The possible "Short Description" field values are as follows:
Undergrad,Graduate,Medicine,Law,Dentistry, andOptometry. There is no identifying field for Purdue students. - To save a final grades submission in process, at the bottom of the
screen, click
Save. When you are sure that you have given a letter grade to each student and are ready to submit your grades, clickContinue. You must then clickSubmit Final Grades to Registrarto confirm, orCancelto abort.Note: To make any changes after you've submitted your grades, you must contact the registrar directly.
- After confirming, you will see a confirmation number and date/time
stamp at the top of the screen. You may also export a copy of the
submitted grades as an Excel spreadsheet or as a CSV file by
clicking either
Export for ExcelorExport CSV.
