Grade Appeal

Grade Appeal Form

Grade appeals are rarely granted and will be considered only for the following reasons:

-The grade assigned was miscalculated according to the grading scale established for the course.

-Grades were not assigned in accordance with the assignments, examinations, etc. as outlined in the course syllabus.

-Students were not treated equally in terms of the manner in which grades were calculated for the course.

Grade appeals will not be considered for the following reasons:

-I did not know how to use Blackboard.

-I needed extra time to complete the course.

-I couldn’t take the exam, and I want to make it up.

-I did not like the instructor/the instructor did not like me.

Grade Appeal Process:

Note: A grade appeal must be made within 30 days of the grade being assigned.

Step 1: Before submitting an appeal, a student should first contact the instructor and attempt to resolve the issue concerning the grade.

Step 2: If unable to resolve the issue, submit this form and all supporting material to the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. They will review the material presented and contact both the student and the professor. A formal decision will be communicated via hardcopy letter to the student.
