Grade Changes

Grading Errors

Grades for current or recently graduated students can be corrected via the faculty portal.

Watch a short video demonstrating the grade change function in the faculty portal.

Provisional Grades

I, E, Y and NP: Provisional grades can be converted to final grades via the faculty portal. Students can request final grades from faculty, but they no longer submit paper petitions (effective July 2019).

In-Progress Grades

UP (Unsatisfactory progress)

UP grades (used by the School of Dentistry) remain on a student’s transcript until the course sequence concludes with a final grade. UP grades are automatically converted to SP (Satisfactory Progress) within 24 hours of submission of a passing final grade.

IP (In Progress)

The grade of IP is a placeholder grade for courses extending beyond one quarter.

In most cases, IP grades are converted to the final grade after the course sequence concludes with a final grade; this happens automatically within 24 hours of submission of a passing final grade. For School of Medicine courses that are taken longitudinally, the Instructor of Record will manage conversions via the faculty portal.

Invalid grades

The on-line grading system can allow, in some cases, the submission of invalid grades (e.g., IP instead of P, or grades submitted prematurely for the current term rather than the prior term). Invalid grades can be corrected by the Instructor of Record via the faculty portal.
