Although the pre-college courses are non-credit, grades must be entered for each student to initiate the issuance of their Certificate of Completion.

The grading system for the non-credit pre-college courses in Banner is based on designating an “S” (satisfactorily completed) or “NC” (no certificate).

  • Certificates of Completion are issued to students with grades of “S.”
  • No certificates are issued for students with grades of “NC.” Students receive just their Course Performance Reports.
  • If a student has not been graded, they will not receive a Certificate of Completion or a Course Performance Report. It’s imperative to stress that instructors enter all grades in a timely manner in order for the students to receive their course performance assessments.

Notes on Grading in Banner

  • Be careful to grade the “Primary Meeting” only. Other sections are available (“lab”, “conference”, etc.), but are not gradable.
  • Grades may be submitted all at once or piecemeal, although grading whole sections at once is recommended to avoid leaving students ungraded.
  • If a grade space is left blank, no data is rolled to academic history. The instructor can post a grade at a later time even if other students in the same class have been graded and rolled to the student’s academic history.
  • After 30 minutes, Banner will log out of the grading session. Non-submitted grades will be lost.
  • If an Instructor needs to change an already submitted grade, they should do so directly in Banner. Additionally, an email should be sent to pcsugcourses@brown.edu informing us of the student name, course title and grade change.
