Each semester, instructors are
asked to inform the class deans of any students who are doing
unsatisfactory work in their courses. Mid-semester grades
may be submitted online through BannerWeb or in writing to
the registrar's office or directly to the class deans. Although
encouraged to submit grades online, instructors may contact
the registrar's office to request the usual paper grade forms.
Requests should be emailed to registrar@smith.edu.
The deadlines for submission of mid-semester greades are posted at Important dates
Instructions for entering grades
online and for other BannerWeb options are available at Faculty
Web User Documentation.
Mid-semester grades are very
important to the class deans in monitoring academic progress
and alerting them to potential problems. Reports of mid-semester
grades are required for only those students whose performance
in a course to date is unsatisfactory. Any student receiving
an unsatisfactory mid-semester grade for any reason will be
contacted by her class dean to discuss her performance or
registration.
Mid-semester grades of "U"
should be submitted to indicate any of the following levels
of performance:
- Letter grades below C-
- Not attending class
- Never attended course
- Assigned work not submitted
Whether submitting grades online
or via regular mail, instructors are asked to adhere to the
above deadlines. If unable to do so, they should call or email
the appropriate class dean regarding any students who are
experiencing problems.
Students who are attending courses
but are not officially registered should be directed to see
their class deans to correct their registration. Course registration
after the third week of classes requires petitioning the Administrative
Board for permission to enter a course after the deadline.
Registration for an incorrect course section may be adjusted
by the registrar and students should be instructed to go to
the registrar's office to make the necessary change.
