Your Early Term Grades Are Now Available in MyBlue
by John Gibbs 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

Good morning, Early-term grades for your Spring classes are now posted! You can check them in MyBLUE under the Academics tab. These aren’t official grades — just a progress update so you can see how things are going so far. If the grade does not match what you think to be true, contact your instructor immediately. Need help with a class? Check out all the supports that exist in the Loper Success Hub<https://www.unk.edu/offices/loper-success-hub/index.php >. Important date: The last day to withdraw from a full-semester class is April 10, 2026. If you’re thinking about dropping a class, contact your Academic Advisor (you’ll find their info in MyBLUE). Please note: If you see “NR”: That means No Report, which means your instructor didn’t submit an early-term grade. You can reach out to them directly if you’d like feedback. You’ve got this — keep pushing toward a strong finish! Go Lopers, -John John Gibbs, M.S.Ed.
