Grades are always communicated to the student as a percentage \u2013 i.e., on a scale of 0 to 100.<\/p>\n

Once a grade is communicated electronically, students have a 2-week window of time in which they may approach the instructor during office hours and question the grade received.\u00a0 Grade adjustments will not be considered after this window has closed.\u00a0 Of course, during the last week of the semester, study days, and finals week, the 2-week window may shorten.\u00a0 Grade adjustments will not be considered 48 hours after the last day of final exams.<\/p>\n
