If the standard essay notification is not showing up, or if the essay status does not match, you can locate the student's essay Grade link through an alternative, secondary pathway.

IMPORTANT: Do not enter a grade for LAST TERM's essay in this section. See How To Grade Essays From Last School Year or contact us for help. Do not change the essay status category or value unless you are grading the essay offline. Doing so will block the student's access to their essay, and they will be unable to view or edit. |
Video Demonstration
This two-minute video demonstrates the process described below.
The video shows the important shortcut to checking both Stage 1 and Stage 2, as students may submit their essay in either stage.
If there is no "Grade" link, but there is a "History" link, this means someone has already graded the essay. Click on the "History" link to see the previous admin actions on the student's essay.

- You will see a popup with all of the student's study paths.
