Mark B. Schneider, 23, of Batesville was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of computer tampering and computer trespassing. He was released from the Tippecanoe County Jail after posting bond.
Lt. Fred Davis of the Purdue Police Department said Schneider, a senior science student, allegedly gained access to Purdue's instructional support system to retrieve and change his grades in an upper-level physics course.
A professor who noticed that grades for one of his courses seemed incorrect informed Purdue's information technology personnel, who then contacted campus police.
