Any question on the part of the student concerning the accuracy of a grade should be raised first with the course instructor. If, after contacting the course instructor, a student still does not believe the grade to be correct, the student should contact the respective Department Chairperson or Program Director of the course.
If the matter remains unresolved after consultation with the Department Chair or Program Director, the student must submit a written request for a grade reevaluation to the Dean of the School in which the course is offered. Such a request must be made by the 7th week of the semester following the one in which the grade was given. The Dean will request a written explanation of the grade from the instructor. Once received, this explanation is sent to the student.
If after receiving this explanation, the student still believes that the issue has not been resolved, they may submit a petition to the Academic Appeals Board within two (2) weeks from the receipt of the Dean’s written explanation of the grade. All decisions of the Academic Appeals Board are final.
