University Students: The Office of Records & Registration performs a verification process every business day at 5:00 PM. Until this is done, any grades instructors have submitted will not appear on GGU4YOU. Please check back after 5:00. If your grades still don't appear, contact your instructor. If you are unable to contact your instructor, contact the academic department. If you are inquiring about terms prior to the current one, e-mail the Office of Records & Registration at records@ggu.edu or 415-442-7200. They will research the issue and, if necessary, contact the instructor or academic department.
Law Students: Most Law School instructors still submit hard copies of their grades to the Law Registrar's Office for our staff to record. The staff does not begin entering grades until the exam period for the term has ended. If you do not see your grades after then, e-mail the Law Registrar's Office at lawreg@ggu.edu or call 415-442-6620. Also contact the Law Registrar's Office if you find you are missing grades from prior terms.

University Students: Talk with your instructor to try to resolve this issue. If the instructor refuses to change the grade, you can submit a grade grievance.
Law Students: The Law School does not have a grade grievance policy. Law students' grades will only be changed if the instructor made a mathematical error in calculating it. If you feel you should have received a better grade, first contact the Law Registrar's Office at lawreg@ggu.edu or 415-442-6620. The staff will verify the grade in the records system is the same as the one submitted by the instructor. If it is not, the grade will be corrected. If it is, you may meet with the instructor to review your exam or paper to determine whether a mathematical error was made. If it was, the instructor may submit a new grade using a form available at the Law Registrar's Office.

University Students: E-mail the Office of Records & Registration at records@ggu.edu or call 415-442-7200. If e-mailing, include your name and student ID number, and explain in detail the corrections you believe need to be made. We will research the issue, and, if necessary, forward your inquiry onto the instructor or academic department.
Law Students: E-mail the Law Registrar's Office at lawreg@ggu.edu or call 415-442-6620.

University Students: This deadline is decided upon between you and the instructor. However, you must complete your coursework in time for the instructor to submit your grade before the last day of the following term. Afterwords, all incomplete grades will change to a "W"s (Withdraw). It is possible for the instructor to change a "W" grade, but it requires the academic dean's approval. For further information, click here.
Law Students: For courses graded by a final exam, you have one academic year from the end of the original course. By that time you must have completed the coursework and taken the final exam. For courses graded by a paper, you have up to one academic year from the end of the original course to complete the paper and submit it to the instructor. The instructor may set an earlier deadline, however.

You will only see an "L" in front of grades given by the Law School before Fall 2002. The "L" will never appear on your official transcript. The School of Law has a different grading system than the university, with different grade point values, and the "L" distinguishes it for the records system, so that it can calculate the GPA correctly. Beginning in the fall 2002, improvements in the records system allowed the GPA to calculate without the "L".

An "X" will appear only in front of grades given before Fall of 1987. Before then, all plus and minuses were not calculated into the GPA (e.g., B+, B, and B- were all worth 3.0 grade points); after then, they were. The "X" allows the the computer to calculate the GPA correctly. It has no bearing on your record and will not appear on your official transcript.

GGU started recording grades electronically in the Fall of 1983. Any credit earned before then needed to be manually calculated into your record. The specific course information is kept in paper, and will be paired with your electronic record when you request an official hard-copy transcript.
