There shall be no unauthorized disclosure of grades. Final grades must be delivered and posted electronically as instructed by the Registrar. All examination grades must only be posted electronically via the college’s on -line course management system. Final course grades will be posted through the student portal on my.sunyopt.edu . All final exam and course grades must be posted within one week of the last final exam of the designated final exam period, but not before the day after the last final exam of the exam period. Grade Changes Grade changes for supplemental grades such as for the completion of "I" grades or for "F" grades and corrections of grades must be submitted by the IOR to the Registrar on the Grade Change Form available from the Registrar’s Office and signed by the appropriate Department Chair and Dean for Academic Affairs. Final grades may be changed by the course IOR only if the original grade issued was in error. The reason for the grade change must be documented in detail. Grades may not be changed for any other reason, including (but not limited to the following reasons): • Preventing a student from being placed on academic probation, being dismissed or remaining on probation. • Enabling a student to graduate. • Enabling a student to maintain academic eligibility/status for financial aid. • Personal issues unrelated to academics.
