Grading Complaints and Appeal Process

Students may appeal a grade within the first five weeks of the regular semester after the semester in which the grade was awarded. The first level of appeal is to the faculty member. If the faculty member and student do not resolve the issue, the student may request a formal grade appeal through the Provost. When a formal request is made, the student will be asked to submit appropriate documentation to support the appeal. The Provost will appoint a Grade Appeal Committee. If the Grade Appeal Committee upholds the issued grade, then there is no action. If the Grade Appeal Committee overturns the issued grades, the Provost will complete and return a change of grade form, attaching the GradeAppeal Committee’s decision and submit the Change of Grade form to the Registrar. Grade Appeal Committee decisions are final. (Student Handbook pg 14)
