All changes of grade, regardless of circumstance, require the course instructor to complete and submit a Change of Grade request form online. If the grade being changed is currently an I (Incomplete), the instructor submits the request form electronically, and the Office of the Registrar posts the grade change to the student’s record.

If the grade being changed is not currently an I (Incomplete), regardless of circumstance, the associate dean or the associate dean’s designee must also send approval of the change to the Office of the Registrar. This approval is required in addition to the Change of Grade form.

Petition for Grade Review 

Students may submit an online petition for grade review if they believe a grade has been assigned in error. Students are required to contact the course instructor first to attempt to resolve the matter informally before filing a petition. Petitions must be filed within 30 days of the award of the original grade to be considered for grade review. Electronically submitted written petitions and related documentation are reviewed by the associate dean or the associate dean’s designee, who consults the appropriate parties as necessary. The associate dean or associate dean’s designee may render a decision or appoint a committee to investigate the matter further. The decision of the associate dean or associate dean’s designee is final and is not subject to appeal. The associate dean or associate dean’s designee notifies the student, instructor, and registrar of that decision.
