I need to enter grades but I don’t have access to the course to do so. What should I do?
This quick reference guide (QRG) provides instructions on how to enter final grades for a course section as a faculty member in Workday. Grade entry access is based on Academic Period Date Controls, so if you do not see the option to enter grades, it is likely too early, or the deadline has passed. Check the academic calendar or contact your registrar with questions. Additionally, some institutions import final grades from Blackboard into Workday. Check with your academic leadership to confirm whether this option is available to you.
What do I do if I already submitted my grades and need to change the grade for a student?
- Complete a grade change form, found here
What happens with W grades?
- When a student withdraws from a course, they will come to you as the instructor for a signature to withdraw from the course. They are also required to obtain their Associate Dean’s signature. The student will submit that form to the Office of the University Registrar and we will enter the appropriate grade based on your college’s policies for withdrawal. You will not need to remember to enter a W for the student as it should already appear in the grade roster.
Will the system permit me to enter grades after the grading deadline has passed?
- No, if the grading deadline has passed, you will need to contact the Office of the University Registrar (registrar@uams.edu) for next steps.
When do students get notified of their grades?
- As soon as grades are “posted” in Workday, students will be able to see their grades.
Advising
Program directors and advisors are assigned to students in GUS. Generally, if you are a program director, you will see all of your students in your My Advisees area of GUS. There is a lag to see new students. They are usually available for you to view by the middle of the semester. You can search for them as well by clicking the green button at the very bottom of the page and entering their name.
If you advise a student individually and are not a program director, send your college’s advisor assignment form to the Office of the University Registrar and the student will be assigned to you in GUS.
The Office of the University Registrar does not provide advising services to students.
Course Substitutions
When advising a student – the course catalog under which the student was admitted should be used to define the academic requirements for the degree. On occasion and for a multitude of reasons, an advisor or program director may issue a course substitution to allow the student to substitute a course to fulfill a degree requirement. The course substitution form must be sent to the Office of the University Registrar at least three weeks prior to the student’s graduation date.
Transfer Credit
At the time of admission, undergraduate students are evaluated by the admissions officers against the stated requirements of the pre-professional coursework required for a given degree. Admissions officers are responsible for evaluating transcripts and applying appropriate coursework as defined by their college’s catalogs.
If transfer credit is completed after matriculation to UAMS, the student must request and submit a transfer credit approval form to the Office of the University Registrar. The OUR will then evaluate the student’s official transfer transcript and the form to apply appropriate transfer credit.
