Procedure
- The grade appeal must be made no later than the tenth calendar day (excluding weekends and holidays) of the semester following the semester for which the grade was given.
- The student may appeal the grade only once.
- The student must first discuss the grade in question with the instructor who gave the grade in order to clarify misunderstandings, arithmetic, etc.
- In the event that the student and instructor are not able to resolve the issue, the student may then appeal the grade in writing to the respective instructor’s department head/chair. A copy of the appeal will be forwarded to the instructor.
- The instructor then will respond to the appeal, in writing, to the department head/chair.
- On the basis of the student’s appeal and the instructor’s response, the department head/chair will inform the parties in writing of his or her decision.
- In the event that the student or instructor is still dissatisfied with the grade in question, he or she may further appeal the decision to the Office of the Dean. A cover letter with copies of the original appeal, the instructor’s response and the department head/chair decision must be submitted to the Dean’s Office.
- On the basis of the student’s appeal, the instructor’s response and the department head/chair’s response, the Dean will inform the parties in writing of his or her decision. Dean’s decision is final and binding.
- The appeal process must be concluded not later than the end of the semester in which the appeal was initiated.
