The Baruch College Adjunct Faculty Handbook

A bit of work remains after the last session of your course.

First, the Final Grade Roster needs to be completed in a timely manner.  The Final Grade Roster will be sent to you by the Registrar's Office.   A date will be given by which the roster must be returned to your department.   For the Spring 2003 term, as an example, final examinations were scheduled for May 17-23 and commencement on May 28.   The Final Grade Roster was due no later than May 27.  In Fall 2003, it was due January 5.

Remember, the grades are important for the most important of people, the students. Grades affect their ability to register for the next semester; to obtain financial aid; to get the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow – the diploma.   It's our job not to let them down.

Second, you may need to give a final grade of incomplete (INC) for work not completed during the term.   When the student completes the work you should file an Application for Change of Grade with your department chairperson.   This application may be obtained from your department secretary.   It must be approved by the department chairperson when completed.  Students have one semester in which to make up the work (excluding Summer).  If not completed in that time, the grade automatically is changed to an "F".

Our responsibility is to help clear these incompletes as quickly as possible once the student has completed the work.
