BSD/Tyee: Grading Changes
|
If your student faced technical challenges and was unable to process their grade change request, please send the requests to [email protected]. We heard from a few students reporting issues logging into the grade change website. The error first occurs when they try to type in their email address and not their username. If they are continuing to have issues have students do the following:
If any students did not receive the e-mail Friday night, it is OK, they should just use the link: http://repository1/gradechange Students must use their BSD laptop, and join the VPN network (use the BSD VPN) so they are logged into a school-site. This does not require visiting a physical school building, but yes – that would log them into the network as well. |
