 Midterm grades are visible to students in their NOVASIS accounts as soon as they are submitted by instructors.

Final Grades are visible to students in their NOVASIS accounts and posted to the permanent transcript record once the Registrar's Office has "Rolled" the grade to academic history.  Grades in courses rolled to history will display as In Progress (partially rolled to history) or Completed (course grades fully rolled to history). Grades rolled to history can be changed only by submitting an official grade change through the Grade Change Approval work flow.

To access the Grade Change process, go to myNova and search for Grade Change.  Click on the task item labeled Grade Change Process.
