Dear <<First Name>>,
Fall grading is now open in my.harvard for FAS courses. Later today, we will send you a personalized message containing your specific courses, grade roster statuses, and deadlines.
During the extended Winter Recess (December 20–30), you will only receive 1 reminder to submit your grades. Please be sure to submit your grades by the deadline – it is important that we receive your grades on time.
As a reminder, FAS has returned to pre-pandemic extensions of time policies:
- Students who encounter unexpected difficulties in completing their written work (everything except Registrar-scheduled three hour exams) should consult their Resident Deans for the possibility of petitioning the Administrative Board for an extension of time.
- Extensions of time up to the end of the Examination Period may be granted by the instructor; however, extensions beyond the Examination Period can be granted only by vote of the Administrative Board.
Thank you for your work finalizing student grades and for your attention to deadlines.
Sincerely,
Mike Burke
Registrar of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University

I have a student who hasn’t turned in final work, why don’t I see the PND grading option?
- If you have an outstanding grade, leave the grade entry blank and submit partial post. Once the Administrative Board approves an extension or makeup, we will update the blank entry with a notation of EXT or MKP.
- If the student will not be petitioning for an extension or makeup, please submit a grade for the work completed.
|
|
Why can't my TF enter grades for my course?
You must assign proxy graders each semester. If you can't add a teaching fellow as a proxy grader, please contact courses@fas.harvard.edu.
|
|
I received a reminder about my grades being late, but I already entered them.
Submitting grades is a multi-step process. After you enter individual grades, you will need to:
- Change the Grade Roster Action from NOT REVIEWED or READY FOR REVIEW to:
- APPROVED (if you are posting your full roster) or
- PARTIALLY POST (if you are using partial post)
- Save. Once you set the action to APPROVED or PARTIALLY POST, the POST button will appear.
- Press POST to finalize your grades. Grades are not finalized until they are posted.
