All requests for grade changes must be directed to the faculty member who originally awarded the grade. The faculty member will complete a change-of-grade form which is submitted to the department head. Change of grade requests must be approved and signed by the faculty member, department head, and school dean and forwarded to Academic Services to update the student’s academic record. All grade changes must be completed by the end of the semester following the one in which the first grade was first issued.

The administration is not authorized to change a student's grade unless the grade was found to be issued in an arbitrary or capricious fashion, the faculty member becomes mentally and/or physically disabled or otherwise incapacitated, or for some other reason is unable or unwilling to perform the function of the grading process.
