Ithaca College

Dear faculty members,

The fall 2014 final exam period is Monday, December 15 - Friday, December 19. Please refer to the “Fall 2014 Final Exam Schedule” featured document on the Office of the Registrar website at https://www.ithaca.edu/registrar/docs/Finalexam/finalexamsf14.pdf for exam dates and times.

You will have access to your final grade rosters in HomerConnect beginning on December 15. Please note the later deadline date for submission of fall grades: all final grades are due by Tuesday, December 30 at 12:00 noon. The deadline has been extended on a trial basis for this fall semester only.

Faculty members who have not successfully submitted all of their final grades by the December 30, 12:00 noon deadline will receive a Homer system-generated e-mail with the list of missing final grades. The provost and appropriate dean will receive an e-mail listing of faculty members who have not submitted final grades.

A “Grade/Credit Hour Change” form must be submitted through your dean's office to the Office of the Registrar if there is a need to change a grade after the due date and time. You can login here to access the form: https://www.ithaca.edu/registrar/staff_forms_protected/.

Please note that you may make final grade changes for current semester courses only, during the fall grading period (December 15 – December 30, 12:00 noon). For example, if you submit final grades for a fall 2014 semester course and later realize you entered the wrong grade for a student, you can login to HomerConnect during the grading period and change the grade before the grade submission deadline of December 30. Similarly, if you inadvertently do not assign a final grade to a student in a fall 2014 semester course, you can login to HomerConnect and assign a final grade for the student, provided you do so during the grading period.

Please contact us by e-mail at homer@ithaca.edu or by phone at extension 4-3127 if you need assistance. Note that the Office of the Registrar closes at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 23 but e-mail will be monitored periodically between then and the time final grades are due.

Thank you for your attention to this important information and have a wonderful winter break!
