Submitting Final Grades

  1. Review Student Assessment Policies

    Ensure you are familiar with McGill's Policy on the Assessment of Student Learning (PASL).

    The School of Continuing Studies does not have a final class grade averaging policy. Please grade student work based on demonstrated achievement of specified learning outcomes for each assignment.

  2. Enter Final Marks

    Deadlines

    Case Submission Deadline
    If there is a final exam Within 2 weeks after the date of the final exam
    If there is no final exam Within 2 weeks after the last class
    If you have a student that is graduating Within 3 days after the final exam; within 3 days of the last class if there is no final exam

    Credit Courses

    Instructors for credit courses must enter final grades in Minerva in numerical format from the Faculty Menu > Final Grades. Note that grades entered on myCourses do not go on students' transcripts.

    Non-credit Courses

    Instructors for non-credit courses must enter final grades in Athena.

  3. Submit a Mark Breakdown to Instructor Services

    Once the grades have been entered in Minerva, you must then submit a Mark Breakdown Spreadsheet to SCS Instructor Services at instructors.conted [at] mcgill.ca

    Use the SCS Gradebook template (or your own Excel spreadsheet as long as it complies with all the requirements necessary for grade submission).

    The Mark Breakdown in an Excel spreadsheet will allow Instructor Services to:  

    • Validate the grades entered in Minerva and make corrections in case of a discrepancy
    • Assign a letter instead of a numerical format where appropriate (e.g., J, NA)
    • Avoid rolling blank grades
