Regrade Requests
If you believe a rubric check on your graded submission was applied incorrectly — either it was marked when it shouldn’t have been, or it wasn’t applied when you think it should have been — you can open a regrade request on that specific check. A regrade request is a back-and-forth conversation between you and the original grader on a single rubric check. The grader can adjust your score (or leave it unchanged) and respond with their reasoning. If you’re not satisfied with the outcome, you can escalate the request to an instructor, whose decision is final.Regrade requests are only available for rubric items graded by course staff. You cannot request a regrade on self-review rubric items. See Self-Review.
When You Can Request a Regrade
Regrade requests are available once your submission has been graded and the grade has been released to you. Your instructor may also set a regrade request deadline — after that date, you can no longer open new regrade requests. If a deadline is set, you’ll see it in the regrade dialog before submitting, and the Request Regrade button is disabled after the deadline has passed.Opening a Regrade Request
Open the graded submission
Go to the submission, then open the Files or grading view where rubric checks are listed alongside your code or artifacts.
Find the rubric check
Locate the specific rubric check you want to dispute. Each check has either a Request regrade button (if the check was applied and you want it reconsidered) or a Request regrade — check not applied button (if you believe a check should have been applied to your submission but wasn’t).
Read what happens next
The confirmation dialog explains the workflow: you’ll write a comment, the original grader will respond, you can escalate to an instructor if needed, and the instructor’s decision is final. If this is a group submission, you’ll also see a note that the request and any score change applies to the whole group.
Draft the request
Click Draft Regrade Request. The request is created and you’re prompted to add a comment explaining your reasoning.
