Chemistry grades on WEBSIS
Your chemistry grades should be made available via WEBSIS by December 27th. None of the chemistry staff will be able to give you your grade via email.
If you are a freshman, your grade will be a “P” for pass or there will be no credit (if you did not pass the class). To find out your hidden grade, you must meet with your freshmen advisor during IAP. This is an opportunity to review your term with your advisor.
If you are an upperclassman, your letter grade will be seen on WEBSIS.
If you would like to see your final exam in chemistry, you will need to make an appointment with Patti Christie (patti@mit.edu) starting Monday January 22nd. You will have until Friday February 8th to see your exam.
Enjoy your break from MIT
