Some grades still missing
Some grades still missing
Tuesday, January 4, 2011
Most students who have been eagerly checking the Student Information Systems website for their first semester grades should now be resting easy.
But University Registrar Jill Carlton said some professors have missed the deadline to submit grades, which was 5 p.m. Monday. She added that the number of late submissions is similar to previous years.
“We’re doing pretty well,” she said. “There are always some grades that are late.”
As of 3 p.m. today, 1,039 grades were missing, but 387 of those have been mistakenly “saved” instead of “submitted” by professors on the online Faculty Grading System, Carlton said, and she expects those errors to be corrected shortly. Once faculty members have submitted grades, they are automatically uploaded onto the Student Information Systems website within a half hour.
The registrar’s office sent an email today to professors who failed to meet the deadline. Carlton said it is important that she receive grades on time because her office will distribute internal transcripts to students at the beginning of the spring semester, and a lot of work is required to account for the credits and distributional requirements that students have earned.
In the spring term, non-senior grades are due from professors one week after exam period ends, and senior grades must be submitted 48 hours after the last exam.

The one-week policy needs to be put in place for fall semester too. That people still have grades missing and spring semester starts in less than one week is unfathomable. Without grades, students might not know which courses they can even take, which books to buy, etc.
For example, a student receiving less than a C+ in Chem118 is advised not to take organic chemistry the next semester, but this student won't know until less than a week before the class starts!
A 2.5-week deadline is exceedingly generous. All of my friends at 16,000-student public schools had their grades back before Christmas Eve. If these huge schools can figure out a way to do it, surely Yale can as well.

Yep. I'm sure Yale can figure it out. I know of few public institutions that have one-week reading weeks. Get rid of those. Get rid of the week-long Thanksgiving break. Most state schools just give three days. Start finals the first week of December. A lot of state schools do that. In short: Yale should be more like a public school and not the elite private institution that people pay $40k/year for.
