5.8          Changing Grades

Prior to grades being posted to a student’s Academic History an instructor may go back into Banner Web and change any grade that he/she finds necessary. After the grades have been posted to the student’s academic history the instructor must come to the Office of Academic Records to make any necessary grade changes. The permanently archived grade book is pulled from the vault for the instructor. He/she makes all necessary changes on the originally printed class roll along with initialing and the dating all changes that are made.

The instructor must also fill out a Grade Change Form for each grade he/she is changing. Only the official instructor of record may make changes to the class roll.   The Office of Academic Records will use the Grade Change Form to make the appropriate changes in Banner.  The final step in the grade change process is for the Office of Academic Records to recalculate the student’s academic totals.  No time limit exists for changing most grades (See Credit Hours, Grades, Grade Point Average, and Examinations for exceptions.)
