Grading and Grade Rosters

As stated in the Faculty Handbook

Grading

The University’s system of grading, grade-point system and course numbering system are listed in the Undergraduate Studies Catalog in the bachelor’s degree section under Definitions and Regulations, in the Graduate Studies Catalog under Academic Rating System, and in the Brite Divinity School Catalog under Grading.

All faculty members should familiarize themselves with this section, “I” grades, drops, and “Q” grades, which are assigned when a course is dropped with permission of the dean of the school or college of the student’s major (and dean of the school or college in which the course is offered, if different) in consultation with the instructor of the course when reasonably possible.

Grade Rosters

Mid-Semester: Faculty are required to submit Unsatisfactory Progress Reports (U-grades) for students at mid-semester, each semester, by the deadline proscribed by the Registrar. Once U-grades are submitted by faculty, students receiving U-grades are notified by the Registrar’s office and provided with resources in a timely manner before the semester concludes. In addition, professional staff reach out to all students receiving U-grades. Full faculty participation in this process supports student-centered growth and retention initiatives and academic success for TCU’s undergraduate and graduate students.

End of Semester: At the end of each semester (or session), final class rosters for semester grade reporting are produced. Rosters must be submitted within 72 hours of the final exam, or by 9:00 a.m. the Monday following the last Friday final. (See final exam policy below.)

The Registrar will email reminders related to the deadlines, grades, and submission of the rosters. Grades will be available to students online at the end of each semester.
