ACADEMIC APPEALS AND GRIEVANCES

Appeal of Academic Probation or Dismissal: Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Registrar’s Office and must include explanation of why minimum academic requirements were not met and an exception is warranted. Appeals must be received within three weeks of notification that the student is on academic probation or has failed to meet academic probationary requirements. Appeals which cannot be resolved with the Registrar’s Office will be referred to the Academic Standards Committee.

APPEAL OF COURSE GRADE

If a student believes that a grade has been improperly recorded, the student should contact the instructor involved. Grade appeals are normally limited to one year beyond the end of the course. Normally, a grade change is only justified because of a mechanical error in the initial computation or recording of the grade. Re-evaluation of the student’s performance is not a warranted condition to process a grade change.
