What to do if you receivce this message: "Course is not within the grading period" Make sure that you have selected the correct course from the Course Title dropdown box and then clicked the Select New Course button to the left of the box. At this point, if you are still receiving the error message, you should verify the officially scheduled end date of your course to determine your WFFA grading availability. Below is the explanation of WFFA's grading availability by term: For Fall/Spring terms: If a course is scheduled to run the Normal Academic Term (A Regularly Scheduled Class, the faculty of record will be able to input grades in WFFA starting on the last Friday of the course's term (the Friday right before Finals Week). Grading will be available through the Tuesday following Finals Week. If a course is a Flexibly Scheduled course (Any course that does not retain the exact dates of the current term), the faculty of record will be able to input grades in WFFA starting the last day of that class. Grading will be available through the Tuesday following that term's Finals Week. Note: This ability allows faculty the flexibility to grade each course upon the official completion date as recorded in the Schedule of Classes, and not have to wait until the end of the semester before submitting grades. If a course is a Special Session (S) course that runs past the end of the Normal Academic Term, grading will be available for the faculty of record starting the last official day of the course. WFFA grading will remain available for 14 days following the course's officially published end date. For all Summer Terms: All course grading in WFFA will be determined by the individual course's scheduled dates as compared to the session code (I, 1, 2, 3, W or S) that is placed on the course. If a Summer course has the exact same dates of the session that it was designated, grading will begin on the last Thursday of that Summer session and continue through the very next Tuesday. If the course does not retain the exact dates of the Summer session for which it is designated, the course will be considered a Flexibly Scheduled course. For these courses, grading will begin on the last scheduled day of the course. Grading will continue through the Tuesday immediately following the end of the session for which the course was designated. (I, 1, 2, 3, W or S). If you have a flexibly scheduled course section and/or need to determine your course's grading period, please view the Processing Dates for Classes Table. *** *This link should direct to: http://www.registrars.kent.edu/home/classes/sessdatesrch.cfm
