Change of Grade Request

Ordinarily the instructor of a course has the sole and final responsibility for any grade reported. Once the grade has been reported to the Registrar, it may be changed upon the authorization of the instructor who issued the original grade, the division chair and the Dean of Academic Affairs. This policy also applies to the grade of “I” (incomplete).

Change of Grade form receives approval by the division chair (or designee) and the Dean of Academic Affairs. Once approvals are received, the new grade will be reflected on the student’s transcript immediately.

Incomplete Grades (“I”)

All “Incomplete” grades must be removed within a calendar year from the semester term that it was received. However, students are strongly encouraged to remove “I” grades before the end of the next regular semester (Fall or Spring) so not to interrupt their paradigm or fulfill a pre-requisite requirement. The “I” grade is assigned only when a student is unable to complete course requirements because of illness or other justifiable circumstances. The student must have completed satisfactorily the major portion of the course requirements and convinced the instructor of their ability to complete the remaining assignments. It is not to be given to a student who is already doing failing work.

Incomplete grades showing on the students’ records will remain until the student repeats the course and passes with a satisfactory grade.
