Dear Colleagues,
The CalCentral grade roster is now open for instructors to submit midterm grades for undergraduate students who are struggling academically (i.e., receiving D+ through F or NP in a course).
Non-passing midterm grades can be an early sign of deeper problems and an indicator that students need help. We ask that you please submit your midterm grades in CalCentral so college advisers can reach out to those students when there is still time to address concerns. To submit midterm grades:
- Login to CalCentral
- Go to My Academics > Teaching
The grade roster is open through Tuesday, March 14 at 11:59 p.m. (dates and deadlines for submitting midterm grades are posted in the 2022-23 Berkeley Academic Calendar—see the Office of the Registrar website for additional information). The course instructor of record may submit midterm grades anytime the roster is open and may update grades as often as they wish (for example, when a student has raised a deficient grade since the midterm). Midterm grades submitted to the grade roster are posted for all classes at the same time after the roster closes.
We believe that this “early warning” system improves students’ academic and personal well-being, and we thank you for your support and cooperation. We would also like to take this opportunity to encourage you to conduct mid-semester check-ins with your class. Please go to the Center for Teaching & Learning website for guidance on these valuable surveys that can be of benefit both to instructors and students.
Best wishes,
Oliver M. O’Reilly
Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education
