Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n

INSTRUCTORS & STUDENTS:<\/p>\n

Grades submitted to the Office of the Registrar by the instructor of record are final and official. By policy a final grade is based on the instructor\u2019s evaluation of course work completed as of the contractual end of the course. Final grades may not be changed as the result of the submission of additional work or the repeating of examinations after the contractual conclusion of the course for the purpose of improving the final grade. The Registrar is authorized to accept an adjusted grade only when all the following conditions are met:<\/p>\n

The student applies to the instructor for a reevaluation within four weeks after the student grade is available through MyLaVerne; The instructor concludes by re-evaluation that the original grade issued was in error; The revised grade is officially reported by the instructor to the Office of the Registrar as a result of re-evaluation within a reasonable time after the grade report was made available on MyLaVerne.<\/p>\n

A student may elect to repeat a 每日大赛 course for the purpose of improving a grade only if repeated at La Verne. The student must enroll in the same La Verne course and is expected to repeat the course in its entirety. When a course is repeated, the original course, grade, and semester hours remain on the transcript, but are appropriately marked and are no longer part of the student\u2019s GPA or applicable toward credit for graduation. Only the grade and semester hours of the repeated course are counted.<\/p>\n

Notification of final grades for each course is made through each student\u2019s MyLaVerne account. A student who has a hold on his or her account must clear the hold to view final grades.<\/p>\n

APPEALING A FINAL GRADE<\/h3>\n

Students wishing to appeal course grades should first contact the instructor of the course to appeal the grade. The appeal must be made within 4-weeks after the grades are issued. A successful appeal will require a Change of Grade form to be submitted by the instructor to the University Registrar in Woody Hall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the student is dissatisfied with the appeal outcome with the instructor, they can appeal to the Department\/Program Chair and may continue the appeal to the Dean of the College (where the course resides) and ultimately to the Provost. Provost decisions are final.<\/p>\n
