Changes in Officially Recorded Grades

Final grades submitted by faculty are considered official once recorded by the Office of the Registrar. Requests to change a recorded grade must be submitted by the instructor and are subject to review and approval by the Vice President for Academic Affairs or the Vice President's designated representative. This review process does not apply to corrections resulting from clerical or administrative errors, including mathematical miscalculations, transcription errors, or the resolution of grades of Incomplete (I) or In Progress (IP).

All grade corrections and changes must be finalized within 45 days following the end of the academic term in which the grade was awarded. Requests submitted after this deadline will be considered only under exceptional circumstances and with appropriate institutional approval.

Students seeking to challenge a course grade should follow the procedures outlined in the Grade Appeals and Student Complaints and Academic Grievances sections of this catalog.

Academic records are considered final and are sealed 45 days after degree conferral. Once a record has been sealed, changes to majors, minors, concentrations, honors designations, grades, incomplete grades, degree requirements, or other academic record elements will not be permitted.

Students who repeat coursework after degree conferral will have the subsequent enrollment and grade recorded on their transcript; however, the grade point average associated with the conferred degree will not be recalculated or modified.
