Submitting Grades
Grades are due through out the semester based on the end date of the class and submitted online through INFOnline. The online schedule is distributed each semester via email. Instructions for submitting grades are attached to the online schedule.
It is extremely important that grades be submitted on time. Late grades affect program student’s academic standing or students from receiving timely tuition reimbursement.
