Grade Changes
The instructor of the course shall determine the grade earned by each student in accordance with grading symbols authorized for use by the California Education Code. The determination of the student’s grade by the instructor is final in the absence of mistake, fraud, bad faith, or incompetency and shall become a part of the student’s permanent record. The removal or change of an incorrect grade from a student’s record shall only be done upon authorization by the instructor of the course. In the case of fraud, bad faith, or incompetency, the final determination concerning removal or change of grade will be made by the Vice President of Instruction.
Grade change requests made a year or more after the submission of the original grade will go to the Academic Policies and Procedures Committee for approval.
