Grade Changes

Requests to change grades assigned the previous term can be made by instructors during the first two weeks of the following term. The student should contact the instructor with questions about the grade assigned and contact the Registrar's Office for questions about the grade change process or deadlines. They may also visit www.unco.edu/dos/handbook/main.htm for more information on the grade appeal process or deadlines.

When a grade change is required, you should complete the "Grade Change Request Form", obtain the school director's signature and forward the form to the Registrar’s Office during the first two weeks of the next semester. This form can be located on the Important Links Channel in URSA under the Faculty tab.
