Entering Midterm Grades as Faculty
What are Midterm Grades?
All undergraduate, degree-seeking students are eligible to receive midterm grades. Non-degree seeking students and graduate students do not receive midterm grades. Faculty will need to indicate either satisfactory or unsatisfactory progress by assigning a grade of "S" or "U" on the Faculty Midterm Grades Worksheet in Faculty Self Service. In June 2023, enhancements were made so that any unsatisfactory grade will automatically generate an early academic alert.
Students are able to access their midterm grades through Student Self Service in MyWings, which will display all their classes and whether they are progressing satisfactorily or unsatisfactorily. They will be advised to see the instructor for advice on how to improve their progress, contact First Year Advising (FYA) for tutoring and study skills, or to see their advisor. FYA advisors will be notified of any first year student assigned one or more unsatisfactory grade.
Faculty will need to establish the threshold for unsatisfactory and it is recommended they include that threshold in the syllabus.
