Changing a Course Grade
University policy allows a grade to be changed by the instructor if the instructor has a legitimate reason to change the grade. Reasons for changing a course grade include, but are not limited to, an error in determining the letter grade, an error in recording the letter grade, and evidence of violation of academic integrity. Instructors may not change a grade after it has been submitted to the Registrar by allowing the student to do additional work after the session has ended, unless the grade submitted was an incomplete.
When a grade is changed, the instructor will notify the student in writing of the grade change and the justification for changing the grade. The instructor will notify the student of their right to appeal the revised grade. A student has 30 days after a grade change to appeal by following the same policy and procedure for appealing a final course grade.
The deadline for changing a grade is 120 days after the grade has been officially recorded. The "Change of Grade Form" is completed and submitted to the Registrar's Office to change a grade.
