By university regulation and with the exception of “I” and “X” grades, changes in end-of-term grades may be made by the instructor only because of an error in calculation or an error in transcription. Changes in grades may not be based on the late submission of required work, the resubmission of work previously judged unsatisfactory, or on additional work. No changes may be made in a grade after the end of the semester following the one in which the grade was assigned, although cases of error discovered after the deadline may be appealed by the student or the instructor to the Office of the Provost.
The purpose of these regulations is to promote accurate record-keeping and careful grade reporting as well as to protect instructors from student pressure.
Procedure
Faculty policy stipulates that grade changes may only be requested due to computation or transcription errors. Grade change requests from I, N, and X grades require no explanation.
Grade change requests can be submitted using the electronic Change of Grade feature in DukeHub. Instructions are available at Help guide: Grade Change Requests (DukeHub).
