Grade Type Information
There are requirements or considerations to remember when entering non standard grades are into the MyBU Student Grade Roster. The summary below outlines some of that information, but for a full list of grade types, please refer to the Grades & GPA page. Please note that some academic areas may not have all grade types available for use. Specific grading practices for Medical, Dental, and Law schools are not indicated.
- I, F Grades: For Incomplete or Fail grades, graders should adhere first and foremost to applicable policies and procedures at the school/college department, as well as the BU Policy on Incomplete Coursework. Assign “I” grades when there has been an agreement between faculty and student to complete the coursework (based on policy).
- MG Grades: A “Missing Grade” value is rarely entered by faculty, and should always be accompanied by a Note in the Grade Roster. Refer to the BU Policy on Missing Grades as well as any policies and procedures at the school/college/department where the class is held before entering an “MG” grade.
Please follow the required prompts in the MyBU Student Grade Roster to capture attendance data for a student receiving an ‘I’, ‘F’, or ‘MG’ grade. Upon selecting one of those grades, enter the subsequent information in the Last Date Attended Info and Notes sections of the Grade Roster. Refer to the ‘Non-Standard Grades’ section of the Grading Guide for comprehensive instructions.
Grade Roster Statuses

Grading is a two-step process; once your grades have been entered into the Grade Roster, the roster must be submitted and then approved. OUR cannot post grades if the Grade Roster is not approved.
