Submission of final course grades to the Registrar's Office can be accomplished through my.harvard.edu and instructions are available in our knowledge center. Click here for a list of Spring 2017 Grade Entry Deadlines.
It is the Head Instructor's responsibility to submit final grades to the Registrar's database. While other faculty members or Teaching Fellows affiliated with a course may have grading permission, only the Head Instructor has the ability to post final grades. Please read more information regarding Responsibility for Evaluation in the Faculty Handbook.
Head Instructors have the ability to assign additional proxy graders. Find detailed instructions about assigning proxy graders here. Please note that in order to assign someone as a proxy grader, that person must be affiliated with the department offering the course. If this person is not affiliated with the department, please contact your department’s catalog coordinator for assistance. By default, Head Instructors are given "post" permission, and Teaching Fellows and Teaching Assistants are given “grade" permission. Learn more about permission levels here. If you would like to change the permission level for a proxy grader, please contact your department’s catalog coordinator.
