How to Submit a Grade Change

Grade Changes

Instructors may request a change to a student's final grade for up to one calendar year after the end of an academic quarter. Reasons to change a grade include clerical errors (i.e., the instructor miscalculated the grade) and assigning a final grade to a student who has submitted the required coursework to fulfill the terms of an Incomplete contract. (See How do I submit an Incomplete Contract? for information about the process for assigning an Incomplete.)

Student Grade Change Request Form

To submit a grade change, fill out the Student Grade Change Request. Instructors must use their Shoreline Network Account (their shoreline.edu email credentials) to log in to the Grade Change Request Form. This secure log in keeps student information private in compliance with FERPA guidelines.

Enrollment Services Confirmation or Rejection Email

The instructor will receive an email notification that Enrollment Services has entered the grade change as requested or has rejected the grade change request. The request may be rejected if the instructor has asked for the grade to be changed to a grade that is not included in the grading basis for the course. (See What are the grade bases in ctcLink? for information about the grading systems used in ctcLink.)
