the grades are locked on Ed-Line. All grade changes must then be done by an official Grade Change form
submitted by the faculty member and a copy is mailed to the student. Please note that final course grades
may be changed only by the instructor of the course and then only if there has been an error in computation or
to remove an incomplete (I) or in-progress (IP).
