Dual Enrollment
program gives high students a head start
Thanks
to the Dual Enrollment program offered by Pellissippi
State, nearly 60 seniors at Maryville and William Blount
high schools are getting a jump start this fall on earning
those “dreaded” college English credits—without
ever having to leave their high school classroom. (more)
 Grade
reporting just got easier
Faculty, imagine not having to drive to campus to submit
your grades! Think how convenient it would be to report
your grades from the comfort and convenience of your own
home! Starting this semester it’s not just a dream.
Online grade reporting will be available December 13-17.
Note that SIS will not allow grade reporting before or
after these dates.
Online grade reporting is easy. Just follow these simple
instructions:
From the College’s home page, select “Web
for Faculty and Advisors.” Click on “Login,”
then enter your faculty ID and PIN. Select the appropriate
term. Select “Faculty Services,” then “Grade
Courses,” followed by “Course for Grading”
found in the drop-down box. Post your grades and enter
the last day of attendance for each student receiving
an F. Select “Submit” when you are finished.
With this new system, faculty, you will no longer need
to submit a paper copy of your grades to Admissions and
Records. But if you have any questions, you can contact
that office at 694-6568.

Something
no one knows about you: My favorite people in the
world are children. In their complete innocence, they
display the most integrity and morals, since they are
not really striving for a position of power. Whatever
you ask of them, they’ll either do it or not; whatever
you ask, they’ll give it to you straight—don’t
ask if you don’t really want to know! (more)
