3.11.2 Posting Grades

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) prohibits the posting of grades by social security number, student identification number, or in any manner personally identifiable to the individual student. FERPA does not prohibit the posting of grades using code numbers that are appropriately restricted to school officials who have been determined to have a legitimate educational interest in the grades. Even if such code numbers are used, the list should not be alphabetized or ordered in any other way that might make identification possible by unauthorized individuals.

The safest course of action is to refrain from posting grades at all. If a faculty member chooses to post grades, he/she should use code numbers as indicated above or posting of grades within the learning management system.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
