Grading Instructions
The NJIT Office of the Registrar strives to leverage technology to improve your experience as a member of our faculty. We are pleased to announce that we are rolling out a new final grade entry option using the new roster with student pictures made available earlier this spring. This new grade entry option also offers faculty the ability to import/export grades.
