<p>Is there a point where professors are expected to post final grades? It feels kind of weird to have attended commencement when I still haven't gotten any of my grades! One of my exams was almost two weeks ago. :(</p>
<p>they’re supposed to be posted within 72 hrs of final exam or assignment, but most profs don’t care what the rule says. Not receiving a grade for after 2 weeks is a little ridiculous, but I had one like that last semester. 2 of my classes were posted within 3-4 days. just waiting on last one now</p>
<p>“but most profs don’t care what the rule says.”</p>
<p>It only works if the professor is tenured because it doesnt matter to them.
If the professor is not tenured, threaten them to either post grade immediately since the deadline has passed or you will go through the grievance process for misconduct. Since you have a case, this will go on their permanent record and will come up when they review whether to grant him/her tenure. I have tried this 3 times throughout my academic career. For the first 2 times, the professor apologized for the inconvenience and immediately posted grade after receiving the email. For the other time, I actually started the process and grades were posted the day after. </p>
<p>Obviously, don’t do it for subjective grading classes (like humanities) because this could backfire in your grade.</p>
<p>Bearcats,</p>
<p>Would it be possible post some detailed instructions on exactly how to go about the grievance process? Also, a sample email that you sent to the professors would be nice too. </p>
<p>I, too, am tired of all the professors who delay grades. It’s unacceptable to have to wait more than one week after a paper/exam.</p>
<p>lol bearcats I do remember you ranting about untenure prof not posting your grade, but you never kept us updated on it. Unless the class/prof is absolutely awful, then there’s really no need to threaten him/her. Most people can wait, but I can’t–I’m constantly checking WA.</p>
