University Registrar Frank Wada has sent a friendly reminder to all faculty, asking them to submit their Fall 2006 grades to the online grade submission Web site within 72 hours of their course finals.

All grades must be submitted no later than Dec. 20 in any event, he wrote in a letter to faculty on Friday.

The site includes instructions and options for submitting grades. A flier on how to use the online grading tool is available here.

Instructors who have difficulties logging on to the online grading system may contact the IT Express Computing Help Desk at ithelp@ucdavis.edu or (530) 754-4357, on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., or on Saturday, Dec. 16, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Teaching Resources Center will open for one-on-one help with the tool on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (except for the noon hour), and a consultant from IT Express will be available at the TRC Dec. 14 and Dec. 15 during TRC operating hours.

The campus has required final grades to be submitted online since Fall 2004.

"Your continued support of online grading for the Fall 2006 quarter is appreciated," Wada wrote.
