To encourage student attendance at both events, the CDC will hold a March Madness Competition with cash prizes. For more details, click here.

The midterm grading window will open in Banner at 9:00 a.m. Monday, March 4, and close at 9:00 p.m. Sunday, March 24. In addition to entering an estimated mid-term grade, faculty can mark how regularly a student has attended a course by entering 0 (never attended), 1 (sporadic, unsatisfactory attendance), or 2 (consistent, satisfactory attendance) in the “Hours Attended” field.
Although all faculty members can provide mid-term feedback for any of their students in Banner, the Early Intervention Program (EIP) seeks information on particular student populations. Faculty members with EIP students in their courses will receive a list of students requiring mid-term feedback. Your comments concerning attendance and performance are deeply appreciated and quite helpful to us in our academic intervention efforts. Please note that students will be able to view their grades in Banner after the mid-term grading window closes.
Should you have questions or concerns, please feel free to call ext. 5222 or e-mail maldonhd@buffalostate.edu. Thank you for your commitment to our students’ success.
