Important Information Regarding Midterm Grading for Freshmen

Online midterm grading for freshmen in full-term Fall Semester 2012 courses begins Thursday, Oct. 11, via FlashFAST. Please remember that midterm grading applies ONLY to courses that meet for the full semester. The deadline for midterm grade submission is midnight on Tuesday, Oct. 16. No midterm grade can be reported after the deadline. The Grade Change workflow cannot be used to report midterm grades after the fact, and the University Registrar will not accommodate other late submission requests. FlashFAST is accessible from any Internet-capable computer that has the cookies function enabled. To access FlashFAST, login to FlashLine and select Faculty & Advisors / Resources / Faculty from the main menu. The link to your grade roster(s) is located in the Faculty & Advisor Toolbox, under the Submit Grades heading. Grades Processing Tips and FAQ may be found on the University Registrar's website at www.kent.edu/registrar/facstaff/facresc.cfm. Faculty members needing personalized instruction on submitting their grades via FlashFAST should contact their campus Registrar's Office during normal business hours for assistance. Also, as a helpful tip, it is recommended that you clean out your cookie and cache files regularly to help your computer run faster, and to potentially restore and/or improve your access to FlashFAST and/or FlashLine by improving your connection to the server.
