The Office of the Registrar is responsible for processing all grade changes. The form must then be signed by the head of the academic department. The form is then submitted to the Registrar's Office for processing. If an academic department has made an error in completing the form, it will be returned to the department by the Registrar's Office for correction and re-submission. Grade changes are processed once a week during the term with the exception of the week during which final grades are assigned.
Academic standing is reviewed after each grade change and any necessary changes are made.
Grade changes made in the computer system are immediately reflected on the Georgia Tech Web Student Access System. These credits will not count towards degree program core or elective credit requirements. GRA credits can help doctoral students maintain status at an advanced stage of their research studies. In special cases GRA credits may be helpful to masters students. Such exceptional cases need to be approved by academic advisors.
