Dear Faculty:

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

If you have not yet submitted your grades for non-graduating students, please be reminded that the deadline is 5PM on Friday, June 5, 2015.

o        Non-graduating Upperclass and LL.M. Student Grades posted in MyAccess<https://myaccess.georgetown.edu/>, as they are received and reviewed, at 5:00 PM daily, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

o        First-Year Grades posted in MyAccess<https://myaccess.georgetown.edu/>, at 5:00 PM daily, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

*         Spring 2015 grades deadline for students with Paper Extension (papers due Monday, June 15, 2015) is 5:00 pm on Monday, July 6, 2015.

Important Reminders:

*         Grades must be submitted by the deadline via MyAccess<https://myaccess.georgetown.edu/>.  It is imperative that you carefully review the raw scores and final grades you enter via MyAccess.  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.

*         Attached is a copy of the Recommended Curve and Historical Grade Distribution for Fall 2013-Spring 2014.  This information is also available on our Faculty Services website (https://www.law.georgetown.edu/campus-services/registrar/Faculty-Services.cfm).

Thank you,
