| ===Course Grading===
| |
| # In order to be eligible to grade a course, a potential Professor or Docent must have already passed the course.
| |
| # The expectation is that all courses will be graded within 24 hours by the course's Professor or Docent. If courses have not been graded by this point, the HM and his staff will grade them (with the exception of certain specialized courses such as the ACC qualification exam, Test of Wisdom, CoJ courses, etc.). Graders that repeatedly fail to mark their exams within the 24 hour period may be removed at the discretion of the HM.
