5-6.8 RECORD KEEPING BY TEACHER
The office of Independent Studies reports to the Department of Registration
and Records all final grades in Independent Studies courses received by
NC State University students, using the same grading system as used by
instructors teaching courses in residence. Such grades then become a part
of the student's permanent academic record subject to the appropriate regulations.
Copies of the grade reports are sent to the deans, department heads, and
faculty advisers of students enrolled in degree programs.

GRADEBOOK
The teacher should maintain a gradebook, or other grade record, and in
it should clearly record each grade for each graded student assignment.
The record should include indications of attendance (where required by
instructor or University Policy), excused and unexcused absences, late
work, resubmitted work, etc. Gradebooks should be retained by the teacher
for several years in case they are needed as reference to explain or defend
a challenged grade, or to provide information when preparing letters of
recommendation. The gradebook should indicate how final grades were calculated.
It should be understood that the gradebook may be used by another teacher
in the event of illness or other eventuality resulting in the instability
of the initial teacher to complete the course.
GRADE ROLLS
Each teacher will receive a final Grade Report Roll (red) prior to the
final examinations. This roll must be returned to Registration and Records
within 48 hours after the examination. For final exams when given on the
last day of the examination period, the deadline for turning in grade rolls
is 12:00 noon on the second day after the last day of the examination period.
Graduation Grade Report Rolls (green) contain the names of the
students expecting to graduate at the end of the current semester, It is
very important that these rolls be returned by the date and time due. A
teachers's failure to turn in the Graduation Grade Report Roll may prevent
students from being cleared for graduation.
REVISED CLASS ROLLS
Following the end of the second week of the semester, the Department of
Registration and Records will issue revised class rolls. The rolls should
be used to call attendance in each class. Students who are in the class,
but whose names do not appear on the Revised Rolls, should go immediately
to Registration and Records (1000 Harris Hall) to be certain they are registered
in the courses/sections they are attending.
