Grade Appeals
Disputes regarding grades must be initiated within sixty (60) days from the date of receiving the final course grade by filing a Grade Appeal Form, located at on the
Registrar’s Form Library, with the instructor who assigned the grade. The Grade Appeal Form is separate from the Application for Appeal form submitted to the Student Appeals Committee, which does not rule on grade disputes as described in this policy. If the student is not satisfied with the decision, the student advances the Grade Appeal Form to the department chair occurring the course involved in the appeal. In situations where there is an allegation of capricious grading, discrimination, or unlawful actions, appeals may go beyond the Chairperson to the Dean of the college from which the grade was issued. The decision of the Dean of the college or school is final.
