Changing Final Grades

Instructors can change final grades in the Student Administration System.

Final Grade changes can be submitted after grades have been approved and posted, as provided in the University By-Laws:

Grades are part of the student's permanent record. Therefore they should never be changed for reasons unrelated to course requirements or quality of work. An instructor may neither accept additional work nor give additional examinations once the grade in the course has been submitted. Nevertheless, there can be situations in which course grades may and ought to be changed. These comprise computational errors, clerical errors, and the discovery of overlooked components in a student's body of work.
