13 DOME & Grades

During the first six hours of instruction of any course, the instructor is required to provide students with a written statement of the general basis of evaluation.
There is no Council regulation regarding the amount the final examination mark must count toward the final grade received; however, the final examination is normally a significant proportion of the final grade. The instructor should discuss this matter with the Head of Department.

DOME (Dynamic Online Mark Entry)

DOME is a new mark entry system that retains the same functionality as Web Mark Entry but greatly improves the underlying infrastructure and provides a more modern user interface. It enables faculty members to:

• view courses assigned,
• view class rosters,
• and enter/submit final grades for approval.

All historical information has been migrated to DOME so that you are able to view previous terms/years.

For more information about DOME visit The Registrar’s Office Page to access login, the DOME instructor manual, grade information, submission due dates, and other information.

DOME manuals are located within the DOME – Help menu.

For assistance with UR Courses, either visit the UR Courses web page or contact IT Support at 306-585-4685.

To ensure that an instructor is correctly entered on the system, the following information is necessary:

• first and last name and middle initial,
• date of birth,
• and complete mailing address.

As an instructor, only assign grades listed below:

Percentage Values (00% – 100%)
AG – Aegrotat Standing
AU – Audit, no credit
IP – In Progress (first semester of two-semester class) C – Credit
N – No Credit
P – Pass Standing
F – Failure
NP – No Paper (Failing Grade – follow rules)

Grades NOT to be assigned by instructors:

• IN-Incomplete
• DE-Deferred
• NP-No Paper
• W-Withdrew from Course

If you find it necessary to assign a grade different from that which was originally assigned and approved on DOME, you must then use an official Grade Change Form (contact your department or faculty office). The Grade Form must be signed by the Department Head and Dean of the faculty. It will then be forwarded to the Registrar’s Office to be officially changed. If you are unsure about what grade to assign, please read the section on ‘Grading System’ and consult with your department head or dean.

Note that only the current official Grade Change Form will be accepted.

Courses not listed on the final examination timetable must have grades submitted by the dean/designate of the faculty, federated college, or academic unit offering the course to the Registrar’s Office no later than 10 calendar days (not including Sunday and statutory holidays) after the start of the final examination period.
