The instructor of record must complete a Change of Grade Form or write a formal letter with the instructor’s signature with a statement indicating the reason for the change for review by the Registrar.  The Registrar may request final approval from the Vice President/Dean of Academic Affairs.

Change of grade due to a calculation error
The instructor of record must complete a Change of Grade Form or write a formal letter with the instructor’s signature with a statement indicating the reason for the change for review by the Registrar.
