Faculty: Initiation of grade change

To initiate a grade change for a student, faculty will find the student and grade for the course within their previous grade rosters.

·       Faculty will enter through the Faculty Home tab via the Chico Portal

 

·       Faculty rosters, both the Class Roster and Grade Roster show on the Faculty Center homepage

·       Click on the Grade Roster icon. If a Grade Roster icon is not present the class may be a non-graded section or access has not been granted by the department.

·       Find the correct student on the Grade Roster and click on the Change Grade button

·       Fill in the selected required fields. The student name, their EMPLID, title of course, department, instructor, course number, and assigned grade will auto-populate with the correct information.

 

·       Below is an example of a grade change with all fields filled out

 

 

·       Select the Submit button to route the grade change to the next approver (either Chair of the department, or directly to the Office of the Registrar)

 

·       Once the grade change has been submitted, the faculty initiator will receive one of the two emails:

o   An email if the request has been denied by the chair, dean, or Office of the Registrar

o   An email if the request has received the final approval from the Office of the Registrar

·       NOTES:

o   If changing grade to an Incomplete, the Incomplete Contract button will appear, and contract details can be added.

 

o   If a previous grade change has been processed for the student in the course, a message will pop up after submission, offering the choice to either continue with the grade change, or view the previously processed grade change.

 

 Chairs and Deans: Approval or denial of grade change

To approve or deny a grade change that the faculty has initiated, the chair or dean can access the grade change two ways: in PeopleSoft.

·       The grade change can also be accessed in Worklist within PeopleSoft, located in the navigation menu. 

*The Worklist can be added to your Navigation Bar or Favorites in Peoplesoft for quicker access. Once you have nagigated to the Worklist select the three dot icon, from the drop down menu, select Add To NavBar/Add To Favorites.

                  

·        You may also navigate to the Grade Change Search page here: Main Menu>Chico Student Records>Grade Change>Grade Change. From there, you may search by Term, Class Number, and Approval Status

    

·        Once the grade change is selected, the chair or dean can approve, deny, or add comments
