GRADES Our course finished just after the
deadline to submit the grades for the second-term of the
Summer Session. The PSU
summer-terms organizers have requested me to submit the grades
via the Supplementary Grade
Report form, which I will comply. These grades will be entered
manually into the system. I will announce once all the
grades are in. Andres.
