Posting Grades in Access

Partial Grade Posting

In graduate classes with distance education students, it is often necessary to submit grades via access.smu.edu for all but a few students. This enables graduation candidates to complete their degrees, prior to the instructor’s receipt of final exams from distance students.

Instructions for posting partial rosters of grades in access From Jim Dees (April 2004)

  1. Log in to access.smu.edu and pull up your grade rosters. If you don’t know how to do this check with either Jim Dees, or your department administrative assistant.
  2. Enter the grades you currently have ready.
  3. When grades are entered, click “save” at bottom of page.
  4. Change roster status to “ready for review”.
  5. Click “save” again.  You may then log out and your grades will be visible to you and to Jim Dees, but not to the students.
  6. When you are ready to enter the remaining grades go back into access.smu.edu and bring up your grade rosters.
  7. Change roster status to “not reviewed” and click “save”.
  8. Enter remaining grades.  When done, click “save”.  If all grades are entered for the course section, change roster status to “approved” and click “save” again.
  9. Once you change roster status to “approved”, your grades will be available for students to view, but you will no longer be able to make any changes in access.smu.edu   Any grade changes must be done by submitting a Change of Grade form through the department.
