Change of Grades Policy

Changes of grades due to errors in grading or reporting or from an incomplete to a quality grade may be initiated by a faculty member at any time until the end of the fall or spring semester following that in which the course was scheduled. A grade change may also be initiated by the chair of the department that offered the course if, and only if, the faculty member is unavailable. The approval of the department chair is required for the grade change to be entered on the student’s transcript. A signed copy of the Change of Grade form will be kept in the Office of Admissions and Records.

A student may appeal a grade to the Student Academic Progress/Exceptions Committee in cases where F grades have been recorded because a student was unable to officially withdraw. The student may petition the Student Academic Progress/Exceptions Committee for retroactive withdrawal from any and all courses in the semester in question. The student must provide verifiable evidence of the cause for failing to withdraw properly. If the petition is granted, the grades will be changed to W by the Office of Admissions and Records.

Official records may be expunged only by action of the Student Affairs Committee. Such action is to be used rarely and only in the most extenuating circumstances. The committee shall submit a signed document of the reasons for its action.

Formal documents and signed copies of the minutes of the Student Academic Progress/Exceptions Committee will be filed with the dean of academic services (A113).
