Deadline: December 2013 Graduation Application for Undergraduate Students

All Day

Students Begin to View Mid-Term Grades, 8:00 a.m.

To help undergraduate students monitor their academic performance, faculty members will provide a warning to students with unsatisfactory performance at midterm. Each semester, the Registrar will establish and announce the dates for the window within which midterm grades may be posted by faculty members and read by students and advisors. Faculty members will assign a midterm grade of "D" (danger or potential failure) of "F" (failure) by using the Univerity Records and Systems Assistant (URSA) at www.iup.edu/ursa. The midterm grade is an advisory grade and is not a permanent part of a student's academic history. It is not used to determine enrollment status, dismissal, or eligibllity for financial aid, housing, or athletics.
