<p>took about four classes this past spring semester at a local community college. I plan on transferring in about a year. The deadline to post final grades was today, and my English Writing professor e-mailed the entire class, saying that final grades are posted. However, when I check the "e-services" system online to view my transcript, I can see the grades for all my classes, except for the writing class that I took. There is only a blank spot next to the name of the class, ENGWR300. I received A's in all my other courses, leaving my GPA at 4.0 , without the grade of the English Writing class. I did not do so well in this course as I did with the other courses, and I was planning on retaking the course in the summer to replace the grade, if the teacher gave me a low grade. Should I move on without letting the professor know, to keep my GPA high? Or, should I let him know? Has this ever happened to anybody? By the way, the teacher is fairly new, and has really low ratings with his past students, and is a really hard grader compared to the other teachers.</p>
<p>Give the system a few days- the registrar may still be entering the info into the data. If you don't hear by Monday, then by all means, e-mail the professor. You need that grade to fill in that space next to your English class on the transcript.</p>
<p>If the professor entered the grade, it will most definitely appear at some point in time. If this happened at my college, the professor might have entered his grades <em>after</em> the registrar's office had released the grades in general and his grades would not appear until the next release cycle at the end of the first summer seesion. But I'll second the other posters to e-mail the professor -- actually, if all other grades were up, I would e-mail him now instead of waiting (yes, I am not very patient when it comes to grades).</p>
<p>At our son's school, grades dribble in as they are entered into the system. One grade came in after the deadline. If a professor doesn't enter grades in by the deadline, I'd guess that the department chair or the school dean would send a little reminder.</p>
<p>Sometimes admin systems have problems. That's part of life and you run into it whether it's the phone company, water company, heating company, your credit card bank, etc.</p>
<p>If the professor is late, I'm pretty sure that he knows it and is working to get the grading done. At work, I generally don't like to bug people if I know that they're working on it as bugging them will probably slow them down.</p>

<p>Yep. </p>
<p>When I read your post, it makes me think that you should cover a few of your bases to make sure you are on the right track with this one class. </p>
<p>For example, I live in TN, and if I was a Community College student I would be paying well over $300.00 per class. It would royally upset me if I had a bit of a struggle with a course and wound up having no grade posted for the course I struggled with. It would also totally make me downright angry to (temporarily) have a transcript that looked like it had a typo on it or something. </p>
<p>Therefore, if I were you (and I am totally trying to put myself in your shoes here, ozzlo139), I would schedule a meeting with the Community College instructor and bring all of my work with me. Break the ice and bring up your coursework in the class and then slowly work your way to the typo issue. Heck, you might even want to do that if the typo issue resolves itself.</p>
<p>I checked e-services couple of minutes ago and the grade did post, although the grade itself was an unpleasant surprise. I'm gonna be retaking the class this summer with a much better teacher, thanks to ratemyprofessor, ha. Thanks to everyone that helped.</p>
