- All grades except I and IP are final when submitted by the instructor on the final grade submission through CatCourses.
- No changes of a final grade may be made on the basis of revision or submission of additional work after the close of the semester.
- A final grade may be corrected when a clerical (recording) error or procedural error has occurred.

Mid-semester grades
The Office of the Registrar does not process grade changes for mid-semester grades, as these grades are not a part of the student's permanent record.

Grade information will not change in CatCourses or in MyStudentRecord.
