College grading is elusive at best. Each professor is different. Some classes never have any grades posted until the midterm and they the final and final grade even if there were assignments along the way…they may be on a spreadsheet somewhere but not in the official college grading system. Others keep the raw score going so they think they are failing all semester and then have a B. So there may be a good chance he did not know. It is super frustrating for them.

Helping him break down the syllabus for each class he takes on in the future may need to be a non-negotiable. That is where we got with my DS during Covid. Then if he complained about not knowing something or about the grading, I would remind him to look there. If there is an actual complaint needed by the student to the dean they will go back to the syllabus as well when investigating any discrepancies.
