Contesting a Course Grade
A student who believes an error has been made in his/her grade in any class should attempt to resolve the issue informally with the instructor.
If an informal resolution does not occur, the student should promptly (within two weeks of speaking with the instructor) submit the grievance, in writing, to the Assistant Dean for Graduate & Professional Studies. The Assistant Dean of Graduate & Professional Studies will then contact the student within 2 weeks, review the grievance and supporting evidence, meet with the instructor, and resolve the issue, providing the student with written notification of the decision.
If the student remains unsatisfied with the decision of the Assistant Dean of Graduate & Professional Studies he/she may submit a written appeal to the Dean of Graduate and Professional Studies within two weeks of receiving notification. The Dean of Graduate and Professional Studies will make a binding decision, thereby concluding the matter.
No grade may be appealed after 6 months from the issuance of the grade.
