Summer Grading Deadlines
Summer 2026 Grading Deadlines (Faculty/Staff)
New as of December 2024: Unreported grades at the time of the official grading deadline will be automatically assigned a grade of "MG" (Missing Grade). Once an MG is assigned, instructors will need to submit a change of grade request via BearWeb. Instructions for changing a grade can be found here.
It is critical that grades be submitted on time for graduating graduate and seminary students to allow Deans, degree planners and staff in the Office of the Registrar to certify graduates.
