Grade Appeal Process

To appeal a grade given by a professor, follow these steps:

  1. Request a conference (in person, if possible) with the professor so that an explanation of the grade may be given. This request must be submitted in writing within 14 days of the posting of the final course grade. If Step 1 does not satisfy concerns or if the student is unable to meet with professor, proceed to Step 2.
  2. Submit an appeal to the Dean or the Dean’s designee. This appeal must be made within two weeks following a conference with the professor (or an attempt to meet with the professor). The appeal must be prepared in written form. The Dean or designee will discuss the appeal with the student and the professor to see if the situation may be resolved. If necessary, the Dean or designee will consult with the Academic Review Board (the student may be asked to appear) prior to making the final decision. A final written statement of the situation will be provided to the student within one month after the appeal is submitted. This is the student’s final appeal. The Dean’s decision is final.
