(d) Procedures shall also include expunging the incorrect grade from the record.
(e) When grade changes are made as a result of course repetition in accordance with article 4 of this subchapter, appropriate annotations of any courses repeated shall be entered on the student's permanent academic record in such a manner that all work remains legible, insuring a true and complete academic history.
