Until now, there was no CUNY policy on grade submission dates, so colleges were free to make up their own deadlines. This ruling applies to undergraduate grades only, and I think some persuasive arguments have been made to justify a longer deadline for graduate than the 72 hours now being adopted for undergraduate grades. Manny Sanudo and I spoke and this could be discussed at the November Senate. I do know that our late deadline caused issues with teacher certification, for example, and I think we need to consider what works both for faculty and students before deciding on what the deadlines for graduate should be. I have asked if a delay in implementation may be possible, and will let you know what I hear.

The memorandum, and your e-mail, says 'CUNY' adopted this policy. Is that the Board of Trustees? It isn't in any minutes of their meetings that I can find on the (admittedly generally useless) CUNY website. Three days in unworkable, and will result in less accurate and less fair grades.

We will use the same deadline for graduate programs. Please note that the fall deadline may be difficult for instructors with large classes, due to the Christmas holiday. We will work to ensure that those classes have earlier exams, where possible.
