Midterm grades
Today is the deadline for instructors to submit midterm grades for the Spring 2019 semester. Midterm grades are an important mechanism to support student academic performance, success and retention.
The midterm grade worksheet will be available until 8 a.m. tomorrow morning. Midterm grades can be entered in GoWMU using the Midterm Grade Worksheet. Grades can also be reported through D2L. Additional information on midterm grading, as well as instructions on how to submit midterm grades via Elearning, can be found on the Registrar’s Office website.

Pro Tip
Student Registration Permit - Override
SFASRPO is the Banner page used by advisors and other approved employees to override restrictions a student may encounter when attempting to register for a class. For example:
- A student has not met the prerequisite(s) for the class.
- A student does not have the appropriate major code for the class.
- The class is closed.
- There is a Department Approval on the section.
Entering a registration permit override for a student allows the student to register themselves at their convenience.
This is different from a hold restriction. With few exceptions, holds are placed to prevent registration. Holds must not be overridden. Students can view their holds by logging into GoWMU, then expanding the Registration menu and clicking on the My Holds link. Holds must be taken care of prior to registering for classes.
FERPA
Over the next several weeks, we will highlight FERPA - what it is, how it protects student records and why we, as university staff and faculty, must adhere to this law.
FERPA stands for the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. It is also known as the Buckley Amendment after its congressional author Senator James Buckley and was signed into law by President Ford in 1974.
FERPA is a federal law designed to help protect the privacy of student education records. FERPA provides eligible students the right to inspect and review their education records, the right to seek to amend incorrect education records and the right to limit disclosure of information from their education records. The Act applies to all institutions that are the recipients of federal aid administered by the Secretary of Education.
FERPA protects the education records of students who are currently or were formerly enrolled regardless of their age. The education records of deceased students and students who have applied to but never attended are not subject to FERPA guidelines, although every effort should still be made to protect them.
Additional information about FERPA can be found on the Registrar's Office website.
