Before you start

Regrade requests must be enabled by an instructor and are submitted at the question level. 

Submitting a regrade request

1. Go to your assignment and open your submission.
2. Select the graded question that you want to be regraded. This will display the rubric for that question and highlight the rubric items that were applied.
3. Select Request Regrade in the bottom action bar on the assignment submission page.
   
   
   
   
4. In the Regrade Request for Question X modal, enter in an explanation of the regrade request for the question.
5. Select Request a Regrade.
   
   

   Tip: Instructors are most likely to respond to regrade requests when they are polite and concise.

   
   
   
   
6. To submit a regrade request for multiple questions, repeat steps 2 to 5 and submit one for each question that you want to be reviewed.
7. Once a request has been sent, your instructor and the grader who graded the question will be sent an email notification of the request.

8. A grader can either accept the regrade request or reject the regrade request.

   • If your grader will accept the regrade request, they can reply with a response, adjust the grade, and close the request.
   • If your regrade request was rejected, you'll see a response message from the grader explaining the decision. The grade will remain unchanged, and the regrade status will show as resolved or closed.

Viewing regrade request responses

To view the conversation thread for a specific regrade request, select the question when you view your graded submission.

Where to find all regrade requests

You can view all pending and completed regrade requests for a course on the Regrade Requests page (in the left sidebar).

Regrade requests statuses and what they mean

Here's the various regrade request statuses and their meaning:

• In Review - the regrade request is in review.
• Resolved - the regrade request has been resolved or closed. When a regrade request is closed, you can view the instructor’s response in Gradescope. You may also receive an email notification, depending on the course settings.
• Completed - the regrade request has been addressed by the instructor or grader and you should be able to see your updated score for that question.
