Grades Grades are recorded permanently by the Office of the University Registrar. Instructors are not required to assign incomplete grades. Re-examinations are not allowed. Students receive grade and GPA reports by mail three to four weeks after posting. Approximately one week before the end of classes each term, students must obtain from Student Affairs a confidential exam ID number for use on their final exams.
Faculty initially evaluate exams without knowing the identity of the test-taker.
Later, they may match exam numbers with student names and adjust final grades to reflect class participation and other relevant factors. Students will have an opportunity to review, within a reasonable time, written work upon which a grade is based. Approximately two weeks after the beginning of each term, students may request in writing from Student Affairs their final exam grades for the previous term to determine whether any adjustments were made in assigning final course grades. The Office of Student Affairs will oversee the collection of exams. In appropriate circumstances, accommodations may be extended to students for whom English is a second language.
