Faculty is required to fill out far in the beginning of Fall and Spring semester. Please work with the Director of School of Education and CEHHS Associate Dean, if needed.
Forms:

Grade Change Form
The University recognizes the prerogative of the faculty to set standards of performance and to apply them to individual students. The University will seek to correct injustices to students, but at the same time, believes that the instructor’s judgment at the time that the original grade is assigned is better than a later reconsideration of an individual case. Equity to all students is of fundamental concern. (Restricted Access, directions on how to submit Grade Change Form)
