How can I get a grade changed?

askuf — Wed, 28 Sep 2005 21:22:13 +0000

Students who have questions about a grade received for a course should contact the instructor as soon as possible. If an error has been made, the instructor will submit the paperwork to change the grade.

Students may view their transcript on ISIS (see Hot Links) http://www.isis.ufl.edu/ to see if the grade correction has been done.

Generally, the grade change process takes one-two weeks to complete.

Can I repeat a course I’ve already taken to improve my grade?

askuf — Wed, 28 Sep 2005 20:54:25 +0000

Yes, students may repeat courses. Generally, University of Florida course work that is repeated is calculated in the computation of a student’s UF grade point average as many times as grades of “below C” for that course are recorded, although credit hours will be awarded only once. However, when a student earns a grade of “C” or higher in a course, repeats that course, and earns a “C” or higher on the subsequent enrollment, the new grade is not computed into the UF grade point average nor are additional credits awarded. The complete Repeat Course Policy statement can be found in the Undergraduate Catalog under Academic Regulations, Grades/Grading Policies at: http://www.reg.ufl.edu/catalog-2000-01/academic-regulations/academic-regulations-top.html

Contact the Office of the University Registrar if you have additional questions at (352) 392-1374, ext. 7229.

askuf — Wed, 28 Sep 2005 20:51:56 +0000
