Grade deadlines may vary between locations, schools and colleges, so be sure to double-check the grade timeline so that you know when grades will be turned on and when they will be due.

To enter your grades, you will log in to the S3 Admin Console website. This will take you to the homepage screen (pictured below). Click the "Registrar" link on the upper right side of the screen or the "View Faculty Info Page" link at the bottom to begin the grading process.

If you will be unable to enter grades, you may assign a proxy who will enter grades in your place. Only course section instructors may add a proxy, and all proxies must have an active Andrew account. Undergraduate students may not serve as proxies.

Submitting Incomplete Grades

Instructors working with a student on an incomplete grade agreement should carefully read and complete the Incomplete Grade Agreement Form (pdf).

Instructors must enter a default grade in S3 along with the "I" Incomplete grade. The default grade is the grade a student with an Incomplete grade would receive if he/she did no more work.

Entering Missing Final Grades

Instructors with Missing Final Grades must submit those in S3 within 60 days of the final grade deadline. After that point, an instructor must complete the Retroactive Missing Final Grade Form (pdf) and submit it to the University Registrar’s Office for entry. One form must be completed for each student.

Changing a Final Grade

Instructors wishing to change a student's final grade must enter that change in S3 within 365 days of the final grade deadline. After that point, an instructor must complete the Retroactive Change Final Grade Form (pdf) to their teaching department for approval. One form must be completed for each student.
