Introduction to WebGrade

The Baruch College WebGrade System allows faculty to use the Internet to submit final grades for their courses. WebGrade can be accessed from any Internet-accessible computer (PC, MAC, UNIX) using a standard web browser. (Browser recommendation for large course sections - 85+ students)

WebGrade is a user-friendly system that will expedite the end of semester grading process and eliminate paperwork (bubbling mark sense forms). Instructors will be instrumental in Baruch students receiving their grades in a timelier manner.

Browser Recommendation for Large Course Sections - 85+ Students

WebGrade can be accessed using any Web browser, but for course sections with enrollment of over 85 students we recommend using a browser other than Internet Explorer. We have found that Internet Explorer has difficulty rendering the large tables that are used with larger course sections. Firefox or Netscape browsers can be used to access WebGrade as an alternative to Internet Explorer. You can download and install these browsers yourself or contact the Computing and Technology Help Desk to obtain an installation disk and provide you with installation assistance.
