All Faculty: the absolute deadline for submission of final grades is Wednesday December 30 at noon.
After a lot of negotiation last year, we were able to move the deadline for the submission of final grades back to December 30 at noon (from earlier deadlines that were 3 business days after the end of final exams - including last year's original scheduled date of Dec. 24 at 10 pm). This is now the deadline every year for the fall semester. This year that date is the Wednesday before New Year's Eve.
It is really, really important for all faculty to submit their final grades by the deadline. Not only has the extended deadline been allowed based on the assumption that it will make it easier for faculty to submit their grades on time - since we have an additional 5-8 days to finish grading, compared to earlier years - but many students have internships and other future plans that depend on the grades they receive for the fall semester. So please - make it a point to get your grades in before the deadline!
