How do instructors submit midterm and final grades for their students?

Instructors submit grades via the Faculty Center in MyUW.  The Registrar's Office provides instructions for grade submission here: Faculty Center: Entering and submitting final grades. Each night, a process is run that posts the grades for all grade rosters submitted to the Office of the Registrar during the previous day.  Once the grades are posted, students can immediately look up their grades via My UW

• Midterm grades should be submitted for each first-year student to assist them in making changes to their schedules.  Information regarding mid-term grades and submitting these grade reports can be found at Final and Midterm Grading.
• Final grades must be submitted by instructors by the deadlines published here for all terms. Per the Faculty Senate, deadlines are set as 72 hours after the last final exam day.

Departments have the responsibility of maintaining records that will enable them to assist in the resolution of Incompletes (I) and to answer questions and complaints about grades, their accuracy, and their appropriateness. This is particularly important in the case of temporary staff members, staff members who will be away during the summer, and faculty members who may be away from campus on leave.
