How to submit final grades

  1. Log into DORI.
  2. Click the “Faculty Class Lists & Grading” tile.
  3. Select “Submit Final Grades” from the menu.
  4. A list of classes available for grading will appear.
  5. Review the Grading Status column:
    • Not Started – no grades have been entered
    • In Progress – some grades entered, not all
    • Completed – all grades have been entered
  6. Click the row of the course you want to grade. The student roster will load below the course list.
  7. If the page layout looks incorrect or items overlap, try zooming out in your browser.
  8. In the Final Grade column, use the dropdown to select the correct grade for each student.
  9. Leave the following columns blank (Duquesne does not use them):
    • Last Attend Date
    • Hours Attended
    • Narrative Grade Content
  10. When all grades for the course are entered, scroll to the bottom and click Save (bottom-right corner).

Notes:

  • The Rolled column (visible on the main course list) indicates whether grades have been rolled from the roster into the student’s academic history.
  • During the final grading period, the roll process may be temporarily suspended, allowing faculty to make changes.
  • Once grades are rolled, they cannot be changed in this screen. Faculty must use the Grade Change Application to update a grade.
  • Grade Change Application can be found back on the “Faculty Class Lists & Grading” tile.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Course does not appear

  • Sort by Grading Status. (re-sorting lists can help resolve display issues)

  • Navigate between pages using the arrows.
  • If still missing, ensure at least one student is enrolled — empty courses do not appear.
