Step 1

Log in to your Pipeline account and click on the For Faculty tab.

Step 2

Click on the link to Final Grades

Step 3

Click on the down arrow to select the term you wish to grade. Click on the Submit button.

Step 4

Select the course you wish to grade. (Note: to see all your courses and sections click on the down arrow.) Each course will display with the course title followed by the CRN (course reference number).

You will also see the full course title, code, section and CRN under Course Information at the top of each grading worksheet  so that you can verify each class.

Note: If you are teaching multiple sections of the same course and are unsure which section matches up to which unique CRN, you could print out your Faculty Schedule by Day and Time which lists all your courses for the week. This will display each course code and section followed by the CRNs and would be useful to have on hand before starting the grading process. Note that you have to be looking at a week before final exams to see your full schedule.

Step 5

Once you've selected the course you wish to grade, click on the Submit button.

Step 6

Scroll down to see the students in your class. Note that only those students still active in your course will have a grading option.

Step 7

Click on the down arrow in the Grade column to select the letter grade for each student  (see options) or click in the box and type in the letter grade. Since faculty will not be able to change an Incomplete grade once the grade history has been rolled or processed, it may be advisable to leave students receiving an incomplete as blank instead. This way you can always go back until the grading deadline and put in the final grades for just those students when you are ready without filing any additional forms.

Note: Although Banner has the capability to track attendance, CCRI is not currently using this function. Please leave the boxes under Last Attend Date and Attend Hours blank.

Step 8

When all active students have been graded, click on the Submit button at the bottom of the window to complete the grading process. Note that there is an inactivity time limit on this page for security purposes so Submit often to save your work. Until the grades are processed by the system you can return to this page as often as you need to to add grades. For instance you could grade half the class and submit their grades and then return to the page later and grade the rest of the students. Remember to always choose Submit for each session to save your work.

Step 9

You should see a message that the grades have been saved successfully. This may take a minute or two depending on the system processing. Please wait until this process is completed.

To grade another course, click on the For Faculty tab and click on CRN Selection to choose the next class (see Step 5). You may also click on the CRN Selection link at the bottom of the screen under the Return to Previous button to go to the next course.

NOTE: Students will be able to view their grades as soon as the grades have been rolled to Academic History, which is indicated under the Rolled column (see graphic under Step 6).

NOTE: To view the final grades you have entered, under For Faculty select Summary Class List.  Select the appropriate term and click Submit.  Select the CRN and click Submit.  Scroll down to view Summary Class List which now includes final grades.
