Grade Change Procedures
If an error has been made in recording or reporting grades, the instructor may initiate a grade change. If a student believes an error has occurred, the student should contact the instructor.
A paper Change of Grade form must be filled out and submitted to the Office of Registration & Records whenever grading has closed for the current semester and a grade change is required. A paper "Change of Grade" form is also required for any change of grade from a previous semester (e.g. Incomplete, Not Reported, etc..).
NOTE: If grading for the current semester has not closed, instructors may change a grade for individual students via the Web Grading System. From the Grade Class List option, click on the appropriate student ID and the Student Grade Change Form will run.
Change of Grade must be signed by the instructor, the Department Chair and the Dean of the College. If a grade change is required for a graduate level course, the instructor and the Dean of the Graduate School must sign the form.
After the grade change has been completed, the original copy is filed in the student file and the remaining copies are returned to the originating department for distribution.
The Office of Registration and Records does not maintain mid-term grade changes as mid-term grades are not reported on student transcripts. Therefore, it is the instructor's responsibility to notify a student of a mid-term grade change.
To protect record integrity and security, it is essential that the Change of Grade form be delivered directly to Registration and Records by the initiating department.
Students are not to hand carry any grade forms to or from Registration and Records. Change of grade forms may be picked up from the Office of Registration and Records by faculty or staff with ID.
For question regarding grade changes please contact Laree Williams, Grade Clerk at (208) 282-3256.
