  • ALTERNATIVE GRADING REQUEST | GRADE CHANGE

  • FOR STUDENTS: When registering, students may elect to take certain courses for a letter grade or as a Pass/No Pass option as allowed within their major.

    After initial registration in a course, students retain the right to change the grading option upon approval. To do so, students complete this form and must be submitted by the deadline listed on the Academic Calendar.

    Once a course is graded, no change in grading option is allowed.

    AUDIT Option: Opting to taking a course for no/0 credit. Many classes at UWest can be audited with advisor approval. Course prerequisites are enforced in determination of registration eligibility for the course, and fees are assessed as listed in the Tuition and Fees section of the Academic Catalog.

    Audit course units are not applicable to F-1 or financial aid eligibility. Those auditing courses take no examinations, write no papers, and receive no grade or credit.

    Audited courses cannot later be converted to graded courses.

    FOR FACULTY: This form is used if an error was made in final course grade entry.

    Registrar's Office staff are authorized to change a final grade only in the cases of clerical or procedural errors.

    Please explain the situation in detail in the "Explanation" box below.

  • AUDIT units are not degree applicable and do not apply toward financial aid or F-1 visa eligibility. No work is submitted and no grades are issued. 

    Audit units cannot later be changed to graded units.

  • PASS / NO PASS (P/NP) grading is not applicable to all classes.

    Undergraduates: Up to 12 units optional P/NP allowed per academic year with chair's approval. P/NP grading affects honors eligibility. You must have at least 12 graded units to earn term honors.

    Graduate Students: Optional P/NP is not generally allowed. Chair must approve any exception to this policy.

  • POLICY: All grades except incomplete are final when posted by the instructor. Grade changes are made only in case of clerical or procedural error or exceptional circumstance. Once a term is complete, grades cannot be revised by re-examination, submission of late work, or completion of extra assignments except as allowed as terms of an approved and recorded incomplete grade.

    If you believe that your grade has been incorrectly posted, provide the following information. Your request must be submitted no later than the last day of the term immediately following the term you completed the course.

    Your request will be forwarded to the instructor for review, then to the chair for approval if a change is recommended by the instructor.

    If the instructor denies your request, you retain the right to file a Grade Grievance.
