My PSY 307 grade from last semester is supposed to be getting changed.

I let my teach know about it almost as soon as I knew that it was wrong (I believe it was around the 23rd)

How long is it supposed to take, what can I do besides emailing my teacher.

I emailed her on Jan 7 days ago and she said that the department secretary filled out the form needed to change it a few days ago( meaning Jan 4-6)

I still havent seen a change yet. should i just call the PSY dept or what?>

There are multiple steps to a grade change. !) the professor has to submit the grade on a form. 2) the department head has to sign it. 3) the department head gives it to a scheduling officer in the college and 4) scheduling officer submits it to Reg and Records and it gets updated.

You need to ask you prorfessor first if he or she started the process. If the answer is yes, ask/go to the dept. head. and so forth- keep going until you find the snag. OR, start with Reg and Records and see if they have the final paperwork. Contacti firegrl23 and see if she can check for you.

ok i know i've outlined this process before ... but one more time for the gipper!

- professor gets grade change form from departmental office
- professor signs grade change form
- professor returns grade change form to departmental office
- departmental secretary gets department head to sign the form
- form is copied in departmental office for their records
- form is sent via campus mail to Registration and Records
- mail is opened and date stamped
- form is given to records department for processing
- processing is completed within 24 hrs of receiving form
(if form is not correct or missing information it is sent back to the departmental office)
- after grade change is processed, it takes over night to post on Pack Tracks
(if the form was processed on a Friday it won't actually update until Monday night)

many times a departmental secretary will hold grade change forms so they can give a few to the department head at once - instead of one form here one from there.

if your professor "swears" they turned the form in, your next step would be to call the departmental office and see if if has been signed by the department head and if it has been sent to Reg&Rec.

remember campus mail can take up to 3 days to deliver mail. if it has been 3 days from when the secretary said it was sent then call us at Reg&Rec.

ask to speak to someone in the records department. they will see if the form has been received or if perhaps it was sent back.

if you want me to check on it personally just shoot me an e-mail at mailto:nicole_harrell@ncsu.edu

If you get a physical hold of it, I'd recommend hand-delivering it. Might sound crazy, but if you are really concerned about it, or it directly/immediately affects you, best way to go about it.

Otherwise, you could end up in a situation where a transcript never got delivered and you won't graduate on time unless you drive from Charlotte to Chapel Hill to Raleigh to do it yourself that day. [/rant]

"Hi Josh: I had overlooked your final submission. I’m sorry about that. I’ve reviewed it and added it to your grade. I’m changing your course grade from a C to a B. I’ve submitted the paperwork on that, but sometimes it takes the college a while to process it. Have a great semester! Jamie Sue Potorti"
