How to Submit a Grade Change Request

Access to the Grade Change Workflow is found through FlashLine, on the Faculty Dashboard. Select the Grading Resources menu, then the Grade Change Workflow.

Click the Create button at the top of the Grade Change Dashboard to create a new workflow request.

If you are an instructor, select the term in which the course was taken for the grade you are requesting to change. Then select the section. The course information will automatically populate once term and section have been selected from the drop-down lists.

If you are submitting a request on behalf of an instructor, you will be prompted to enter the primary instructor’s information before selecting the term. 

Select the student in need of grade change from the student drop-down menu. The student’s current reported grade will automatically fill in. Select a new grade. 

A Reason for Change is also a required drop-down item. Comments can be provided for any reason, but it is a required field if the Reason For Change selected is “Other”. 

Check the box to certify that the policies have been read and understood. 

Click the Submit button at the bottom of the page to send the request through the workflow. If all required fields have been completed, a confirmation message will indicate that the request has been accepted.
