- Log into OWU Self-Service at campus.owu.edu and select Course Management from the Classes menu.
- Select a period and a course.
- Select Overall Grades on the left to proceed to the grading screen.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- P Passing = current grade of C- or higher
- U Unsatisfactory = current grade of D+ or lower
