Grade Change Policy

No grade, except an incomplete, may be removed from a student’s official record once properly recorded. Changes are not permitted after grades have been submitted by faculty except to correct a clerical error.

Requests for error correction must be completed within one semester after a grade has been assigned, summer semester excepted.

It is the student’s responsibility to initiate correction of a mistake in a final grade assignment by contacting the instructor about the recording error.

Once there is agreement that a recording error has been made, a faculty member is responsible for submitting a Change of Grade form to the Registrar within the stipulated time period.

The Registrar accepts requests for grade changes only when all information and signatures on the proper form are in order.
