3.3 How to Approve a Grade Change

Part-time faculty members must secure approval for any student grade changes they initiate. The following approval process is performed by designated full-time faculty members, usually department chairs, in response to e-mail notifications.

  • Log on to Academica using your WSU AccessID and password. Click on the “Workflow Worklist” option under the Faculty Instructional Resource menu.
  • Here, you will see the list of grade changes that are ready for your consideration. Click on the name of the grade change you wish to review.

The Grade Change Approval form will display necessary details, such as the name of the class and grade. When you have made your decision, select the “Approved” or “Denied” radio button, as appropriate. If you choose to deny the request, you may opt to enter a comment, which will be sent back to the person who initiated the grade change. When you are ready to submit your decision, be sure to select the “complete” button. When you are finished, either continue working or exit Academica, as required.
