How do I ask my teacher for a higher grade?
Here’s my advice:
- Be strategic. Always be honest and fair when you approach teachers with questions and commentary about your grades.
- Go the extra mile. Let your teacher know that you’re serious about their class and its associated coursework.
- Ask for help.
- Be present.
- Play up your strengths.
How do I ask my professor to recheck a grade?
Write your full name at the beginning and then create a polite ask. For example, you can start with the words, “I would appreciate it if you could explain to me some things about my grades in your class”. Then describe your concerns shortly. Try to be very specific to make a respectful and polite concern.
Will my professor round my grade up?
It varies from person to person. I typically bump up any grade between 78.5 and 80 to 80. If your grade is really 79.6, I think 9 out of 10 professors will round it up to 80, since the final grade is usually an integer, and the other choice—79 makes less sense in this case.
Is an 89 an A minus?

How do you ask a professor for a grade bump?
Otherwise, the professor will think you are just some lazy ass that wants to get a free grade bump. If it is the middle of the summer and you live in a different city, it is best to contact you professor through email and just ask that way. This may also be a good choice for those students who are a little more shy.
Should I ask my professor to raise my grade to 90\%?
If your grade is 89.22 percent, don’t ask the professor to consider a bump to 90 percent in order to maintain your GPA. If you think you might be on the borderline, work hard before the end of the semester and discuss extra credit possibilities ahead of time.
