How to Submit Grades
There are four steps to the process of electronic submission of your final grades to the Registrar --- Roster file: Obtain a current electronic copy of your class roster.
- Grade file: Construct a file containing (1) UD student identification number, (2) final grade, and (3) student name. You may use any convenient method such as a spreadsheet or word processor to construct the grade file. This step is optional. If you prefer to type the grades using the submit program, you do not need to construct a grade file.
- Submit Program: Submit your grades using the submit program. (See the next section.)
- Verify your grades: Access the Registrar secure web site to verify your grades.
