Course Evaluations Process

• NRCC requires all instructors of all courses to administer course evaluations.

Submission of Final Grades

• Dual enrollment instructors are responsible for submitting final course letter grades to NRCC as soon as a class ends, whether that is after first or third nine weeks, at the end of a semester, or end of the school year.
• Keep in mind that “F” grades require a last date of attendance for the student.
• Please note that withdrawn students will remain on the class roster with a recorded “W” or “F” grade, depending upon the date of the withdrawal.
• Do not use “I” grades for students who have stopped attending/dropped your class. If a student is on your grade roster and should not be, report this roster discrepancy to your school counselor. Note that “I” grades should be used on a limited basis and for students facing special circumstances.
