December 2025 Grade Entry
December grades are due by 9:00am Monday, December 22, 2025. Grade entry will open on Monday, December 8.
Only primary instructors as coded in Banner can enter grades.
Grade-to Date: If a student has outstanding coursework, such as assignments or papers, that counts towards their final grade, enter a grade-to-date with the outstanding coursework counted a zero. If you permit the student to submit this coursework late and that submission results in a change to the final grade, submit the Grade Change Request form in Faculty X Reports. If a student misses an exam and does not have an IN grade, enter a grade-to-date with the exam counted as zero. The student is responsible for contacting the professor to arrange a make-up exam. Do not leave the grade blank.
IN Incomplete: At the Dean’s request, this temporary grade is entered by the Registrar’s Office for students who have medical or personal reasons for missing an exam. Use the Request to Change a Grade form on Faculty X Reports to indicate either:
a) the grade after a make-up exam is completed, or
b) a grade-to-date if a make-up exam is not completed by Friday, January 9, 2026.
The Registrar’s Office will post final grades to students’ academic history daily.
Once final grades are posted to academic history, they are viewable by students. You are requested to retain, for one year, any notes on students’ performance as well as any relevant grading material that is not returned to students. These may be used in the event of a grade appeal.

How to:
Enter Registration Error Overrides
How Faculty Override Registration Errors
Professors can override the following registration errors for students wishing to register in a course to which they are assigned:
- Course is closed (enrollment is at the maximum specified).
- The student does not have the required pre-requisite(s) for the course, but the chair and professor are willing to allow the student to register in the course.
- Student is taking the course without the normal co-requisite, usually a lab. A student may have taken CHEM 100 in a previous year and failed the course but passed the lab. The chair or professor has decided the student may repeat the course and does not need to repeat the lab.
- Course is normally restricted by College (in banner, this means Faculty). For example, CSCI 100 is restricted to students in Arts and Business (Colleges AR and BU), but a student in Science (SC) may be permitted to register for the course.
- Course is restricted by Degree. For example, only students in the HKIN degrees may take HKIN courses. A student in BSc HNU may request permission to take HKIN 226, Personal Health and Wellness, and receives permission to do so.
- Course is restricted by Major. Same scenario as above, but rarely used.
Professors will receive an Override Approval form from the student and will:
- Select the Banner Self-Service (Faculty) link here.
- Log in with your StFX email and password.
- Select Registration Overrides from the Faculty Services menu.
Select the correct term Term and enter Student or Advisee ID or Last Name and First Name and click on the Submit button.
A list of matching students will appear. Find the correct student and click on their Name or ID.
If the student is not eligible for registration overrides, a message will display.
On the Registration Overrides page, choose the appropriate override and the applicable course, and then click on the Submit button.
You can also click the plus (+) button to add more Override and Course fields.
NOTES:
- Professors may override more than one registration error for a student, for example, Enrollment Cap plus Pre-Requisite. Repeat the steps listed above to add another override for the student.
- Once entered, overrides can only be removed through the Banner forms, either by departmental secretaries or the Registrar’s Office.
