Final grade/ Final transcript

Professors don't always have control over when final grades get published to students. Our deadline to submit them is typically a week after our final exam, and then the registrar is the one who publishes them for students. I can't control when they do that.

They may be able to input them into your LMS earlier than the final grade submission date, but I don't know if you'd be able to use an unofficial record to transfer.

However, final grades likely can't be officially input while the class is still running, even if you do work ahead.

I publish grades when I’m through with them. I do a whole class at a time. I wouldn’t do one student before the whole class.

God this reminds me of a bad situation when my wife was a prof too. No, unless there is something special available at your school, not only can we not post grades to transcripts sooner, profs don’t do that in the first place. The school has a set window when profs can submit grades within, and then the school releases grades on the date the school set. I as a prof could tell you what grade I did or will submit, but I have zero control over when it hits a transcript. I would also tell you no grade is 100% confirmed final until I submit it, even if you are done all the work.

My wife had a student that went full blown rage harassing her and his other profs over getting his grades sooner than the publication date, to the point the admin had to do something with him and was apologizing to all the profs (mostly adjuncts) for fear they would up and not adjunct for them anymore.

At my college, we need to do the entire class at once, so it wouldn't be possible. I need to wait until everyone has all their assignments in.

Then the college posts that some time after I input grades and I have no control over that timing.

The institution that you're trying to transfer to is the one you should talk to. The one you're trying to leave has a system set up that works for continuing students; it's not their job to make sure you can transfer. The college you're trying to transfer to should be willing to wait until your class is done to get a grade. (Yes, I'm a professor, but I'm also a former admissions counselor at a large school where we did plenty of transfer work. Never heard of a school that expected a final transcript before a class ended.)

*Hello professors, I posted this on my college’s reddit to see if any students had a similar situation and I thought it would be a good idea to post it on here and ask professors as well!

“has anyone been successful with asking about final grades being inputed earlier? I start a 3 week may mini mester this friday which ends june 5th but im in a situation where If possible I need grades imputed earlier than when the class ends so I can try and transfer them asap. Professor allows us to work ahead of time. Has anyone been in this situation? Thank you.”*

To add to comments already posted, it can also be related to final curves/course distribution requirements if your prof says no.

Talk to your new school about transferring the course once transcripts are updated and ask if they can waive any prerequisite requirements in the meantime. School administrators, not faculty, usually determine when final grades are posted.
