End-of-Semester Grading Deadlines

Grade rosters are currently open in OPUS for grade entry. Please be advised of the following grade entry deadlines for Spring 2022, especially earlier deadlines for graduating seniors. Instructions on grade entry can be found on the University Registrar’s website.

OUE Final Exam Proctoring

OUE will proctor final exams for students who 1) cannot take their exam at the scheduled time due to conflicting exams, or 2) have testing accommodations through DAS. Faculty can request that OUE proctor a final exam for students in these categories by completing the appropriate form on the Faculty Resources page on the OUE website. Please submit questions to OUE.dean@emory.edu.

Undergraduate Academic Honor Code

The Emory College undergraduate student body has voted to adopt the proposed Undergraduate Academic Honor Code and the Procedures of the Undergraduate Academic Honor Code, which would create a unified undergraduate honor code for Emory College, Goizueta Business School, Oxford College, and the School of Nursing when approved by all schools.

The revisions will take effect for Emory College on the first day of the fall semester (August 24, 2022), but may be implemented at a later date for any schools that are still awaiting approval. The Honor Council will send additional information to all faculty about the new code at the start of the fall semester, but faculty may review the new documents at the above links.
