Course and Instructor Evaluations (CIE)
Course and Instructor Evaluations are now collected online via FoxLink. Students will be reminded of the dates to complete the form via their Rollins email*. Student participation in the online evaluation process is crucial to the validity and usefulness of this system. During the evaluation period, if you have not completed all of your course/instructor evaluations you will receive a pop-up notice when you log into the College Novell system. In addition, you will receive one automated email (sent to your Rollins account*) every day until all of your evaluations are complete.
Penalty: There will be a penalty for students who fail to complete all evaluations before the published deadlines. In such cases, students will be blocked from access to online grade viewing for a period of two weeks after end term grades are posted. No paper grades or transcripts will be released for this period of time. Grades for all spring term courses are due on May 10.
Exclusions: Some courses such as internships and independent study have been excluded and students will not be held responsible for evaluating these experiences.
Evaluation Dates: The CIE will be activated for student input on the following dates:
8:00 a.m. on April 14 through 10:00 p.m. on April 28
*Rollins e-mail is our official means of communication. Students, faculty and staff are expected to check it on a regular basis.
Final Examinations
Unless otherwise noted in the course syllabus, Hamilton Holt School final examinations will be held on the last scheduled class meeting date. There is no separate final examination period.
Holt students attending courses in the Arts and Sciences Program should be aware that there is a separate final examination period that will likely require attendance on a date that differs from the ususal meeting date and time.
All students are expected to participate in final examinations on scheduled course examination dates.
Grades
Due
Seniors: 9:00 a.m. on May 5
All Others: 9:00 a.m. on May 10
Note to students:
Grades are posted as they are received. Please note that grade point
averages and academic standing will not be accurate until after
administrative processes are complete - usually three or four days
after the due date.
Grades are not mailed
to students. Students may view grades through FoxLink as they
are received and posted in the Holt School Office. Unofficial grade
reports and transcripts may be downloaded directly from FoxLink.
Official transcript copies may be requested in writing from the
Holt School Office for a nominal fee.
The
Holt School will not release grades to anyone over the phone.
