Series Title:

Sessional Evaluations

Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR):

Faculty and School offices

Purpose and Description of Records:

This series consists of evaluation forms, produced by the Registrar's Office, which are used for the adjudication of final grades by the Faculties and Schools. The forms list each student in each class with their assigned grades. During the adjudication process, the Faculties and Schools either approve those grades, or make adjustments based on student illness, unavoidable absences from class, and other factors which might have affected grades. When adjudication is complete (around June each year), the Sessional Evaluations are submitted to the Registrar's Office for processing (information is transferred to SIS), and then are returned to the respective Faculties/Schools.
