Shortly after the close of each semester, currently enrolled students receive a term report showing the final grade received in each course for which they were enrolled that particular semester. Before the registrar can amend any records, the change must have been approved by the dean of the school in which the course is offered. Policy on Grade Disputes Grade disputes should be resolved directly between the individual faculty member and the student. The final resolution of the dispute will be made by the provost. As a general principle, the authority to change a grade rests with the individual faculty member.
Exceptions made by the provost occur only for the most compelling reasons.
For example, if a particular course in the major area of study must be passed with a grade of C or better, transfer students will be required to meet that standard. It is the student's responsibility to request that a transcript be sent to the director of admissions directly from the institution. Credits accepted toward an academic program are determined by the student's academic dean. All credits are converted into semester credit hours if they are not already so designated. The student has successfully petitioned for preliminary approval of the credit prior to taking the courses.
