Grade Changes
The issuance and posting of final grades is the responsibility of the primary instructor for a class. In cases where a student believes that an error in a final grade has occurred, the student must initiate a review request with the primary instructor within 60 days of the end of the term in which the course was taken. If the instructor and the student can resolve the issue, then, in cases where a correction is warranted, the instructor will submit a request to correct the grade to the University Registrar.
If the instructor and student cannot reach resolution on the disputed grade, then the student may request that the Chair of the instructor’s department review the case. If the dispute is not resolved at the level of the Chair, then the student may request that the Dean of the appropriate school review the case. The Dean will have final authority with regard to such grade disputes.
The University Registrar may dispute grade change requests, and will refer such disputes to the Chair, Dean, or the Committee on Academic Standing as appropriate for final resolution.
