Grades
Students may access their grades using the Student Web Information System at http://www.govst.edu/online. Grade reports are not mailed except upon written request. To request an official grade report, students must complete and submit a Request for Official Grade Report (pdf) to the Registrar’s Office. Official grade reports are not available to students with an outstanding financial obligation to the university.
