Request Grade Change Button

Last modified 10/7/2026

Campus Solutions now includes a Request Grade Change button for Instructor use. It is accessible by revisiting the grade roster after grades have been posted for the class. The Request Grade Change button is available only until the end of the subsequent fall/spring term.

Using the Request Grade Change button, the assigned Instructor may update a grade without approval. Grade changes are monitored and reviewed daily by university staff to assess potential impacts on a student's academic record, including credit hours, GPA, academic standing, athletic eligibility, financial aid eligibility, graduation status, honors, and other related areas. 

Please note the following restrictions:

  • Instructors cannot request a change to an I or M grade through any grade change process. Contact registrar@ilstu.edu for assistance.
  • Instructors may request a change from an I or M grade using the Grade Change Request Form, not the Request Grade Change Button.
  • Instructors cannot request a change from a WX. Contact registrar@ilstu.edu for assistance.
  • Instructors who habitually submit grade changes may be contacted for follow-up.
  • Instructors who submit a request to change a grade that has already been approved by the Department Chair/Director or the Provost's Office will be contacted.

See the instructions below for guidance on completing and submitting the Grade Change Request Form.

5. For the student for whom you intend to change the grade, click the Official Grade dropdown and select the new grade.   

  • Requests to change a WX, P, NP, I, or M grade to a different final letter grade are not allowed using this method. Instructors must submit an email request to registrar@ilstu.edu that includes an explanation and justification for the change. In that situation, Approval/Denial will be via email response from the Registrar’s Office.
