You are able to assign the grade of WU to undergraduate students on the grade roster provided they did not take the final examination.

WU Grades

WU – A grade of “WU” is to be assigned to students who attended a minimum of one class session, completely stopped attending, and did not officially withdraw. A “WU” grade should never be given in place of an “F” grade. The “F” grade is an earned grade based on poor performance and the student not meeting the learning objectives/outcomes of the course throughout the entire academic term/session.

Grading Policy Deadlines

As you are aware, CUNY’s grading policy states that grades be submitted no later than three (3) business days after the last day of the final examination period.  For these sessions, that means Tuesday, August 22, 2023 (11:59pm). Starting Wednesday, August 23, grades need to be submitted via our revised post-deadline submission policy.  You must print or download the CUNYfirst version of your grade roster (word or excel versions will not be accepted), manually record the grades, sign it, and email it, from your Baruch email address, to GradeRosters@Baruch.cuny.edu Once your roster has been posted, any request for change(s) to a grade(s) must be initiated via the on-line Grade Change Application system 24-48 hours after the roster submission date.

Once your roster has been posted, any request for change(s) to a grade(s) must be initiated through your department.  Excel spreadsheets and other versions of grades will not be accepted.

Failure to Enter Grades On Time

Failure to submit and post your grades on time will cause great inconvenience to our students:

• Some of your courses are pre-requisites for summer and fall 2023 courses.
• Rosters not submitted delay the distribution of financial aid packages.
• Students depend on their company tuition re-imbursement plan to meet their tuition payment obligation to the college.
