Helpful hints for faculty to submit grades to students
Grades can be posted using non-sequential number or codes in non-alpha order for the students in the class; however, the numbers cannot be any part or portion of the student’s ID number or Social Security number.
Although the student’s final grade is posted on BSI, this does not work for exams and papers. Papers and exam results can only be sent to the student's mailbox in a sealed envelope.
Individual quizzes that count for only a small portion of the student’s grade can be graded and corrected by other students in the class by exchanging papers. For major exam grades or final grades, the student can be requested to leave a self-addressed envelope (no postcards) to have the grades mailed.
Sending exam grades by e-mail is less secure and not recommended by FERPA. To avoid unauthorized access, final exams and major papers not returned to the student should be shredded. They should not be thrown away nor put in a recycle bin.
