*At 5:00 pm on the date published in the ACU Academic Calendar (the Tuesday following finals week), a
process is run that “posts” all submitted grades to student academic records. Once grades have been posted,
the grades are locked on MyACU. 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).
