You’ll have access to all of your grades for this class via Blackboard. If you have concerns about the grading of any of the components of this class, you should address them in a timely manner to your instructor but no later than the next cumulative grade is posted.
Grades are not discussed over email. Go to your instructors' drop-in hours or make an appointment.
You cannot request a review of all or large portions of completed work in this class at the end of the semester unless this work was completed after the week 14 cumulative grade.
Students who fail a basic Spanish course (e.i., earn an F) may not proceed to the next level or complete the requirement (if the course failed is Spanish 104). They must repeat the failed course if they wish to continue or complete the requirement.
There is no extra credit.
Mid-term grades will be accessible to students the Friday before the last day to withdraw and receive a “W” (see Assignment Calendar).
Instructors cannot change final course grades unless there is an error. If there is an error, the student must present the graded materials as evidence of the mistake. No grade disputes will be processed during the last and first weeks of each semester.
