Grade Change-Clerical or Procedural 

Clerical or procedural grade changes due to errors or grade changes for a course taken within the previous year which was originally No Record (NR) or "I" and subsequently lapsed to a "U" or "F" may be corrected by submitting a clerical error form directly to the Registrar. Do not submit to OGS with a General Petition.

This does not apply to students who have "U's" or "F's" due to a lapsed "NR" or "I" and who subsequently discovered they were in the wrong section. These require a petition to retroactively add and drop coursework.

If an Incomplete in a class has not been finished by the end of the subsequent quarter, an extension of an Incomplete may be requested on a general petition with sufficient justification.

The following procedures apply only if the grade deadline for the course was during the previous calendar year:

Lapsed Blank

Clerical or procedural grade change due to errors or grade changes for courses taken within the previous year which were originally an NR (no record) and subsequently lapsed to a U or F may be corrected by submitting a clerical error form directly to the Registrar. Do not send them to OGS with a General Petition.

Lapsed Incomplete

If the delay is caused by the student's failure to meet the submission deadline, a General Petition to extend the incomplete with an explanation for the delay must be submitted to OGS for consideration-along with the original Incomplete form. If, on the other hand, the delay was administrative in nature, submit the original Incomplete form with the grade assigned under a cover memo accepting department responsibility for the delay (including the department Chair's signature) to OGS.

Wrong Course

Students who have a U or F because they enrolled incorrectly must submit a General Petition to OGS requesting to retroactively drop and add the correct course, a Clerical Error form assigning a grade to the proper course must be included.

*All grade changes beyond one-calendar year from their original deadline require General Petition explaining the exception, and the relevant forms, submitted to OGS. Such requests will be submitted to CEP by OGS.
