Starting after this spring semester, MSU's grading system will make the move from paper to computer. Faculty will now post their final student grades online immediately after they figure them, and they will be posted on MSU's student information Web site, stuinfo.msu.edu, within that day, said Linda Stanford, assistant provost for academic services and university registrar.

Stanford said there were two ways the faculty could update their grades: They could either upload a spreadsheet and fill it out on their computers, or individually by student. "The good thing about it for students is that they can probably get their grades more quickly when they look at STUINFO," she said. Stanford said the system was tested out on two colleges before its implementation. For more on this story please see Thursday's edition of The State News.
