6. Click on the yellow Save key at the bottom of the student list
whenever you want to save the grades you’ve entered. You do not have to

the yellow Save key several times for long rosters and
again before you exit the grade roster!
Note: Be sure to leave the Approval Status as Not

9. Once the Registrar’s Office posts grades to the students’
records, the grade input column on each grade roster will be unavailable. This lets you know that you will be unable to
change the grade using TCOnline and must submit a
Change of Grade form to the Registrar’s Office.
10. Please remember that for security reasons, TCOnline will sign out after 30 minutes of inactivity. If you find you must turn your attention to
other matters, please be sure to save your work beforehand. You may simply sign in again and resume your
activity at a later time.
We are required by academic policy to include a copy of appendix B.8 of the Faculty Manual, as an explanation of Trinity’s grading policy, with these instructions. Please refer to the appendix in your copy of the manual or on-line, at http://www.trincoll.edu/prog/facman/appendix-b.1-b.11/b.8.html.
Blank Grades – A letter grade should be assigned for every student whose name appears on your roster. Grades left blank by you will be assigned the grade of “NGR” (No Grade Received) by the Registrar’s Office. All “NGR” grades that are not converted to regular grades within 15 days of the last final exam will be converted to “F.”
Incomplete – The grade of “IN” (Incomplete) is assigned to the student by a Subcommittee of the Academic Affairs Committee when the procedures and conditions governing the issuance of that grade have been fully met (the current Handbook describes the procedure the student should follow).
Withdrawal – A grade of “W” (Withdrawal) appears on your online roster for all students who officially withdrew from your course by the February 13 withdrawal deadline. Please assign a letter grade to every student for whom a “W” does not appear.
Grade Change – Any change to a grade submitted on your roster should be forwarded to the Registrar’s Office on a Grade Change Form. We have provided administrative assistants in all departments and programs with a supply of forms to make that process easier.
