    • When to Submit Grades – At the end of each term, instructors are required to submit grades to the university registrar through the ISIS system so that they are received within 72 hours of the last scheduled meeting of the class. Delayed submission of grades constitutes an undesirable and unnecessary disservice to the students. Many students need the grade in a timely fashion to receive tuition reimbursement from their employer. Continued failure to turn in grades on time may affect the faculty member’s EP status. Grades may not be posted with student names or social security numbers.

    • How to Access JHU Libraries Remotely – There are 2 ways to access the JHU libraries remotely:
      • At my.jhu.edu, login with your JHED ID and password. Click on the Library tab. Campus libraries and e-reserves can be accessed from this page.
      • Access the online library resource of The Sheridan Libraries. The proxy checks whether your computer is on or off campus; if you are on campus you won't notice anything. If you are off campus you will see the JHED login screen. Make sure your browser is set to enable cookies. Enter your JHED ID and password to access your resource. If you need help with browser settings, please email the IT@JH help desk.
