Mid-Semester Grades | IS 202

Mid-Semester Grades

On Thursday, October 16 at 5 p.m., you can review your midterm grades on MyMadison.
1. In the Student Center, select Grades from the drop-down menu.
2. Move the radius to the term you want to see your grades.
3. Select the “Midterm Grades” tab.
Your midterm grades are only submitted if the faculty submits the grades to the Registrar, and it might not include all of the assignments that you have to this point.  It might also not include a curve that the professor may give in the class or grading strategies, like “I will drop the lowest test score.”

If you are earning a D or F in any course, email your advisor your availability to schedule a meeting. You may want to consider withdrawing from the course so that it will not impact your GPA and hinder your ability to maintain focus and do well in your other courses. While withdrawing from a course does not impact your GPA, it may potentially impact your Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for financial aid - including grants, scholarships, and student loans.

The withdraw deadline is Thursday, October 23 at 11:59 p.m. Remember, if you attempt to withdraw from a class after 5 p.m. on October 23, all offices will be closed and nobody will be able to help you if you run into challenges; therefore, it's a good idea to withdraw before 5 p.m.
