• A grade of I is assigned at your discretion when a student, who is otherwise passing, has not completed all the work in a course due to circumstances beyond their control. 
• A grade of IP is only assigned for prearranged courses extending over more than one semester and is NOT to be used as a substitute for an Incomplete.
• Final grades can also be submitted to Banner using Canvas. Canvas can be accessed through My UNC Charlotte.

If you have questions or problems submitting grades or grade changes, review the web grading instructions.

As instructors finalize their syllabi for spring semester, they may wish to add a statement about the University’s Religious Accommodation for Students Policy 409. This policy authorizes a minimum of two excused absences each academic year for religious observances required by the faith of a student, and provides the opportunity for a student to make up tests or other work missed due to an excused absence for a religious observance. If a religious accommodation is needed, students are expected to communicate directly with their faculty regarding the related need. The request should be made in writing and should state (i) the specific accommodation being requested, (ii) the religious practice or belief the student holds, (iii) how the requested accommodation enables the student to participate in their religious practice or belief, and (iv) the date(s) and/or frequency of the requested accommodation. The request should be submitted as far in advance as possible. The length of time between when the request is submitted and the date of the requested accommodation may affect the reasonableness of the requested accommodation. The instructor and the student will then discuss what a reasonable accommodation should be in the given case and then document this agreed-upon accommodation. University Policy 409 provides more details about this procedure. The Office of Civil Rights and Title IX is available as a resource if students or faculty have questions about the process. The policy provides more details about this procedure. Please be mindful that some students may be fasting during upcoming religious holidays (such as Ramadan) and may request accommodation for a different exam time since they may not perform at their best during times of fasting. In most cases, the University would consider this a reasonable accommodation. The University maintains a list of religious and cultural holidays that have particular significance to some traditions represented on campus. For students observing fasting during religious holidays, Dining Services provides a variety of options for students.

Syllabus 101: Roadmap to Success
Your course syllabus is one of the most important documents you create for your class. It serves as an agreement between you and your students about your goals for the course and your expectations for your students, plus it conveys a first–and lasting–impression with your students. This session will provide information about the important components of a syllabus, ways in which you can enhance your course syllabus, and strategies for using your syllabus as a learning tool. This is a three-day, fully online, asynchronous, facilitated course in Canvas. The workshop consists of readings, illustrations, self-checks, and two final assessments. To be marked as complete for this workshop, you will need to complete both the discussion forum and the final assessment.  You may take the final assessment as many times as you need to, but you must receive at least 85% on the assessment to be marked as complete for the workshop.  You should plan to work consistently throughout the workshop to complete the readings, self-checks, and final assessments during the three day time limit. The workshop should take around one hour to complete. This workshop counts towards the Essentials of Teaching and Learning Certificate.
