 Subject: MASSMAIL - Mid-Semester Grade Reports for Freshman Students

Dear Colleagues,

Last fall our campus reinstated the policy for submitting midterm grades 
for all first year-students.  Thank you for your support in providing 
this valuable feedback to students, the college and departmental 
advisors.  Midterm grades are critical in helping freshman students gauge 
their transition to the rigors of college-level coursework and helping 
academic advisors identify struggling students in need of support.

On behalf of the UIUC Senate Committee on Educational Policy I once again 
request your compliance with this requirement in a timely manner.  You 
will receive information and instructions for submitting midterm grades 
from the office of the registrar next week.  

As a reminder, maintaining confidentiality of student records is mandated 
by federal law (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974). 
Please visit the Provost site for additional information on 
FERPA: http://www.provost.uiuc.edu/resources/Faculty/FERPA_Faculty.pdf.

Thank you for your cooperation and have a wonderful day.

The Office of the Provost & Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
