final grades

End-of-term scores

Final grades are the marks assigned at the end of a course or academic term, representing a student's overall performance.

Unlike interim grades or progress reports, final grades appear on official transcripts and determine whether credit is earned: Final grades are due by Friday.

Students often obsess over final grades because they affect GPA, graduation eligibility, and future opportunities.
