Some students who I spoke with agreed that a week or two is a reasonable turnaround time for professors to grade completed assignments. It's especially important that grades are posted by the end of the class withdrawal period, right around the midpoint of the semester.
Note that many professors will require you to wait at least 24 hours after receiving a grade to discuss it with them.
After the term ends, students can contact their professor to ask for a grade change. Lay out the reasons for the change as clearly as possible. If you think the professor miscalculated your grade, ask for a breakdown of your grades on tests, papers, participation, and other assignments.
More Definitions of Final grade Final grade means the final grade assigned to a student in a course after any adjustment pursuant to Faculty Rule Section 6.05.

Don't email your professor asking (or complaining) about your grades. If you want to discuss the grade you have received on an assignment, make an appointment with your professor or stop by during office hours. Also, don't email your professors asking if they have finished grading a particular assignment.
No, the grade 'E' doesn't represent Fail status. The grade 'F' represent the Fail status. Generally, to be considered as pass, the candidate has to secure at least 35% aggregate marks of the total marks for which the examination is conducted. So, if you have secured Grade 'E', then you are not considered as failed.
