What are midterm grades?

Midterm grades are an early academic progress report.  These are generally distributed after the first month of classes in a semester.

Who receives progress reports?

Not all students receive midterm grades.  The undergraduate student groups who do are:

• Freshmen
• Belton ISD Dual Credit students (if you have any of these students, I've notified you by email)
• International students
• Athletes
• Students on academic standing (probation, continued on probation, or suspension changed to probation by petition)

What are early progress report grades?

UMHB does not use a midterm grade system; instead, we have an early progress report system after the first month of classes.  Progress report grades give students an indication of their progress in both academic content and attendance:

• UA - unsatisfactory attendance
• UG - unsatisfactory grades (below a C)
• UB - unsatisfactory attendance and grades
• S - satisfactory (in both attendance and grades)

How do I know who should receive progress report grades?

• The grade entry screen shows all students enrolled in your class; however, not all students (or classes) will require a progress report grade.  You cannot tell the difference between which students need a progress report grade and which do not unless you click on the grade dropdown for each student.  Those with "S" listed as the first grade choice need a midterm grade.
• To help you identify these students (without having to click on each one), Information Technology has created two different "midterm grades" reports which you can access through an executable download.  The instructors for dowloading those executables are attached or can be obtained from IT (ext. 4658).  You will only need to do steps 1 and 2 once to set up the executable; in other words, if you downloaded this in the fall, you do not need to download it again.  Step 3 will be how you run these reports each fall and spring.
• The two reports are a listing of students who will need progress report grades.  One report is for midterm grades by course.  It will give you the name and ID number for each student in that course who should receive a progress report grade.  The second report is for midterm grades by instructor.  It will give you the name, ID number, and course for each student enrolled in one of your courses who should receive a progress report grade.  These reports should also have filtered out any section B and section 35 courses since they have not yet begun.

How do I enter progress report grades:

• Log on to MyCampus and go to the Faculty tab.
• In the Faculty Course Control portlet on that page, each of your courses is listed.
• The term should default to "Spring 2008" and the division to "All."  If not, you will want to update the term.
• In the "Go directly to" dropdown for a course, choose "Grade Entry."
• Choose the student's grade from the dropdown menu in the Midterm Grade column
  - If the first grade choice listed is NC, then do not enter a midterm grade.
  - If the first grade choice listed is S, then you do need to provide a midterm grade.
• When you have entered all of the midterm grades, click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page.  You should see the message "Grades successfully updated"
• Repeat the above process until you have entered midterm grades for all of your courses.

How can I access my financial statement?
