Change of Grade

If after submitting your final grade roster you determine that a grade is incorrect, you have two options for changing that grade: eGrade Change or a paper Grade Change form.

• You may initiate an electronic grade change request (eGrade Change) via OneStart. Log into www.OneStart.iu.edu, select "Faculty Systems", eGrade Change. Once the document is initiated, it will route to the appropriate individuals for approval and the change will be posted.
   
• You may pick up a Grade Change form in your departmental or school recorder's office. Complete the form and return it to the recorder's office. Once the completed form is submitted to the Office of the Registrar, the new change will be posted. The student should be directed to periodically check for the grade change using OneStart.

On occasion, a student will ask you to review the final grade you assigned the student. Should you agree the grade is incorrect (typically the result of adding test scores incorrectly or misplacing an exam or assignment), you may authorize a change to the student's grade by following these steps.

Option 1: Electronic Grade Change

1. Log into www.OneStart.iu.edu with your user name and password.
2. Select Faculty Systems on the left.
3. Select eGrade Change.
4. Complete the required information and submit for approval.
5. The document requires the approval of the school, usually the associate dean. If he/she approves the request, it will be routed to the Registrar for further approval.
6. The change will be posted to the students record. This typically occurs within a couple of working days, though grade processing at the end of a term may delay it slightly. Tell the student to check on OneStart periodically until the change is reflected.

Option 2: Paper Grade Change form

1. Pick up a Grade Change form in your departmental or school recorder's office.
   
2. Complete the form and return it to the recorder's office. Do not give the form to the student to carry forward.
   
3. The form requires the approval of the school, usually in the person of the Associate Dean. If he or she supports the request, they will sign the form and deliver it to the Office of the Registrar.
   
4. We will process the form and post the student's new grade. This typically occurs within a couple of working days, though grade processing at the end of a term may delay it slightly. Tell the student to check on OneStart periodically until the change is reflected.

If you do not find an error in scoring or recording of the grade and want the student to provide more information to support the request, please refer the student to the campus grade change policy. This site explains the grade appeal process and allows the student to print out the form used by all schools on the campus.
