Dear Faculty:

If you have already submitted your grades for graduating students, thank you so much!

If you have not yet submitted your grades for graduating students, please be reminded that the deadline is NOON on Friday, May 15, 2015.  There is no grace period on this deadline.  Failure to submit the grades by the deadline may impact a graduating student's ability to receive his/her diploma at the Commencement Ceremony on Sunday in the presence of family and friends.

Other important reminders:

?  It is imperative that you carefully review the raw scores and final grades you enter via MyAccess<https://myaccess.georgetown.edu/>.  This grades process should include carefully reviewing the raw scores and final grades against the students' exam numbers and names.

?  The grade of A+ to be recorded on official law school transcripts was established in recognition of truly extraordinary academic performance in a law school class.  Because of this high standard, the A+ is not to be routinely awarded - even the best exam or paper in a class might not receive an A+.  Please carefully consider whether any A+ grades that you award meet the truly extraordinary academic performance standard.  Excessive awards of A+ grades will not be permitted by the Associate Deans.
