Instructors at MSU Moorhead can enter grades for the classes they teach by using the web.  It is one of the options available once faculty login to the MSUM Registration System.

From the home page www.mnstate.edu select ESERVICES and Login with Dragon ID and Pin.

• Upon successful login, select the CLASS MANAGEMENT from the left menu.
• Make certain the Selected Semester is the term for final grades. If this is not the proper term, double click on the term and select a new semester. Make certain you are now in the proper term.
• Choose the Grade Entry option.
• A list of your courses for that term should appear with ENTER GRADES next to each.
• Press the ENTER GRADES button next to the course you wish to see and the list of students should appear--excluding those students who have withdrawn.
• Enter the grades for each student in the grade column.
• If you use "+" or "-" grades, you can type the "+" "-" under the Grade Shade column, or use the selection option.
•    
• DO NOT enter the + or - in the same box as the letter grade.
• Once you have finished the grade enter, you may want to PRINT this page before proceeding.
• When you are finished press the Proceed to Next Step button.
• You will be asked to confirm your entry and verify your PIN.
• Click on the Process Grades button.
• Select the LOGOUT link at the top of the page when finished.

NOTE:  Up to 40 records will be displayed on this grade entry form. If there are more students in this course, a message will be displayed at the top of the page. Return to "Grade Entry" to complete the remaining students.

If you enter a few grades at one time and proceed to next step, and then come back later that day or the next day to continue, the names will only appear for those students still needing a grade posted.  The names will not appear for those who you have submitted grades.  (I do not encourage this practice, but it does work.)

Grades can only be entered during a specified time frame at the end of each term.  This time frame is essentially the same as that given for turning in the paper class lists.

Grades do not appear on a student's record until a batch process is completed.  The Registrar will run a batch program once a day which processes the posting of grades to the student's record.

Paper class lists may still be used for recording final grades for those faculty who do not wish to use the web process.  Regardless of which method is used for grade reporting, The Registrar's Office still wishes all rosters returned to us (whether filled in or not) for reasons of data security.

Questions concerning this policy should be directed to the Records Office, Owens 104, phone 477-2565.
