1. When submitted to the Department of Registration and Records, end of course grades are final and not subject to change by reason of a revision of the teacher's judgment; nor are submitted grades to be revised on the basis of a second trial (e.g., a new examination or additional work undertaken or completed). Changes may only be made within one calendar year after the date final grades were submitted in order to correct an error in computation or transcribing, or where part of the student's work has been unintentionally overlooked.

2. A Grade Change Report form requires the teacher's signed statement as to the reason for the change, the approval of the department head, and the approval of the dean of the college in which the course is taught. Such approval is not necessary when changing an IN or LA.
