Grade Changes

The instructor is required to assign a definite grade based upon the work actually accomplished, regardless of the circumstances that have contributed to the results achieved. The determination of the student’s grade by the instructor is final and shall become a part of their permanent academic record. 

The removal or change of an incorrect grade from a student's record shall only be done upon authorization by the instructor of the course. In the absence of the instructor, or in the cases of fraud, bad faith, or incompetence will the final determination concerning removal or change of grade will be made by the Vice President of Instruction. Any grade change requests made a year or more after the submission of the original grade will go to the Academic Policies and Procedures Committee for consideration.
