Grading
Grading for the spring 2016 semester has been closed. Students who were not issued a grade by the instructor have been given an incomplete. Instructors can remove the "I" grade using the "Remove Incomplete Grade" link on the Faculty menu in GoWMU.
Grading for the Summer I session is open. Summer I grades are due at noon on Tuesday, July 5.
Course Look Up
When reviewing available courses online using the course look up feature, clicking on the Course and Title link provides complete information about a course including, catalog description, course fees, prerequisites and restrictions, attributes, and instructional method (traditional, hybrid, online). A link is also provided to view the list of required and recommended course materials.
Thanks to programming by Information Technology, the section comments are now available in course look up. The section comments are a way to communicate section specific information to students including, but not limited to, courses that are linked as a lecture and a lab. Section comments can be entered by the department during round one of academic schedule building using SSATEXT. Alternately, comments can be added by submitting a section change form.
