ALL ACADEMICS AND STAFF AT UCSD

SUBJECT:    E-GRADES IS COMING - Spring 2012

The Registrar's Office is pleased to announce the launch of the new electronic grading system for UC San Diego for Spring 2012. This system is called eGrades. eGrades is a secure web-based system that will be used for the submission of final grades at the end of each term and for all grade changes for prior terms up to one year. The eGrades system was piloted successfully with five academic units for Winter 2012.

eGrades will be used for all final grade collection for Spring 2012, and all grade entry and grade changes thereafter. eGrades will replace the Scantron bubble sheets used for final grade submission and Clerical Error forms used for grade changes. eGrades information is currently available on Blink at: http://blink.ucsd.edu/instructors/academic-info/grades/egrades.html

There are multiple electronic resources at the eGrades Information website above including online tutorials, timelines and deadlines, information about accessing eGrades, and links to other resources.

There will also be four auditorium sessions in April and May where eGrades will be presented to show the features and functions of the system. There will be time for questions. The dates and times for these sessions are listed below.
