How do I submit midterm grades for my class?

1. Log into OWU Self-Service at campus.owu.edu and select the Classes tab > Course Management.
2. Select a period and a course.
3. Select Overall Grades on the left to proceed to the grading screen.
4. This will display a list of students with two Midterm columns: “Submitted” and “Approved”. The “Submitted” column has drop-down buttons for each student row and is where the grade should be entered. “P” and “U” for Passing and Unsatisfactory are near the bottom of that list. Please do not use “S” for a passing midterm grade. This is a final grade for an S/U course only.
5. Select grades from the drop-down lists for each student (you may use the keyboard to tab from field to field) and click the Submit Midterm button at the bottom of the list once you have finished entering all grades.
6. NOTE: if you will be submitting comments for a grade, you must enter comments first by clicking on the button to the right of the student’s row and selecting Midterm Comments. Be sure to begin your comment with the letter grade you are commenting on, such as “U – didn’t take midterm exam”. This allows the registrar’s office to query your comments for probation and dismissal purposes.
7. You may also save grades in the Submitted column before submitting them by clicking the Save button at the bottom of the list. This allows you to partially enter grades and then return to finish them later. You may also add grade comments or make changes at this point. Be sure to submit grades once you have finished as saving does not send them to the Registrar.

Appropriate midterm estimate grades are as follow:

PASSING
Use one of these mid-semester grade estimates if the student has a current grade of C- or higher.

• P current grade of C- or higher
• PN current grade of C- or higher and has stopped attending or is not engaged

UNSATISFACTORY
Use one of these mid-semester grade estimates if the student has a current grade below C-.

• U current grade of D+ or lower
• UN current grade of D+ or lower and is not attending or is not engaged

NO BASIS FOR EVALUATION
Use one of these mid-semester grade estimates if the course does not have sufficient graded or evaluated work available at this time for you to have a basis for evaluation of the students in the course.

• Q no basis for evaluation
• QN no basis for evaluation and student is not attending or is not engaged

NOT ATTENDING
Use this mid-semester grade estimate when a student is listed as registered for your course but has never attended. Think of this as a registration error.

• X student registered but not attending
