• Grade Changes, Disputes, & Updates
  • Grade Change: A formal Grade Change Process must take place for grades from a previous semester. For auditing purposes, the grade change must route from the instructor, to the Chairperson, to the Dean, then to the Office of the Registrar. (*If older than 6 months, it must also route to the VP of Academic Affairs). Each party must approve the grade change before you will see the change reflected in your Websis. Please note, we have no control over when other parties review and approve/deny grade changes. For our office, (The Office of the Registrar) the typical turnaround time is 3-5 business days. If you would like to know the status of your grade change, log into "Service Requests".
  • Grade Dispute: Please see the university's policy in the Academic Catalog.
  • Updates: Semester grades are due for a course(s) by the date set on the Academic Calendar. Once submitted by the instructor, grades are only viewable in Websis under the View Grades menu, the unofficial transcript, or in Degreeworks. GPA recalculations, Dean's List, repeat course inclusion/exclusion, and degree awarded will not update until the end of term processing has been completed (typically one week after grade submission deadline). If you have an inquiry regarding updates after the semester has ended, please email records@morgan.edu.

A student may withdraw from the University at any time. Entire semester withdrawals after the add/drop deadline for the semester/term will appear on the unofficial and official transcript with a grade of "TW" and does count as attempted credit. A grade of "TW" will not impact the student's GPA, but does not count as completed credit toward the degree. Withdrawal from the semester/term or from the University may have financial aid and fiscal ramifications for the student.
    • Continuing undergraduate students who want to cancel or withdraw from a semester or from the university entirely must complete a withdrawal form. The student system does not allow students to drop all courses on their own without properly withdrawing from the university first.
