Grade Distribution Reports are run at the end of each academic semester (Fall, Spring, Summer) for all courses to which an instructor is assigned as the primary instructor.
Reports for all terms up to Fall 2018 have been sent to each college Dean and Associate Dean for storage on the college's shared network drive. Reports for Fall 2018 to the most recent completed semester are now available via self-service, on the University's Business Intelligence website.
Faculty may view Grade Distribution Reports for Fall 2018 and later at any time. However, Grade Distribution Reports for the most recently completed term are only available after all grades have been loaded and the Registrar has loaded "Z" grades for any missing/unreported grades.
To access these reports, use one of the several methods below.
