G. Change of Grade
The change of grade request form is available on the Office of the Registrar's portal site. This form is intended for the exclusive use of Illinois Tech faculty and authorized academic administrators to request a student's official final grade be changed. Online submissions of final grades are due on the published deadline following final exams. Grades of "X" are posted for all missing (blank) grades at that time and are resolved through this grade change process. All grade changes are initiated by the instructor of record or authorized academic officer. Using this form, temporary grades of "I", "R", and "X" can be changed by the instructor directly with the Office of the Registrar to a final letter grade of: "A", "B", "C", "E", or "S/U" if the class has a pass/fail grading basis of satisfactory/unsatisfactory. Temporary grades of "I" or "R" cannot be changed by the instructor to another temporary or non-letter, administrative grade of "I", "R", "NA", "AU", "W", or "X. Other grade changes may require an additional level of approval by an academic officer or appeals committee. The student should check with their academic college dean's office for details. Changes to final grades cannot be made once a degree has been posted for the career in which the course was taken, or in the case of a student's involuntary separation from the university. Grade change submissions through this form are recorded in Banner once the submitting instructor and/or administrative academic authorization is verified. The instructor is notified when the process is complete.
