Grade Appeals

A student who has evidence that he or she has been assigned a final grade in a capricious, prejudicial, or arbitrary manner may appeal the assigned grade within two weeks after the beginning of the subsequent academic semester (or term). The student should discuss the grade in question with the instructor involved. If not satisfied, the student should discuss the situation with his Academic Advisor or Graduate Director. If the undergraduate student is still not satisfied, he or she should consult with the Department Chair. If no resolution is reached, the student should refer the matter to the Dean of the appropriate school. If the grade issue remains unresolved, the student may then appeal the case to the Grade Appeals Committee. The judgment of the Committee is final. The student should file for a grade appeal formally in the Academic Affairs Office.
