Student Right of Appeal
Students have a right to learn the grounds upon which an
instructor has graded their work. If, after discussion with the instructor, a student
believes that he or she has been graded unfairly, that student may appeal to the
department chair, who will attempt to clarify the positions of both the faculty member and
the student. If the student is still not satisfied, petition may be made to the dean of
the student's college or the dean's designee, who will implement the next appropriate
process. If the instructor and the department chair are one and the same, the relevant
dean may be consulted at the second level of appeal.
Unless otherwise specified in this catalog, student appeals
against other academic judgments should be conducted in like fashion: seeking knowledge of
the grounds for a judgment from the relevant faculty member or academic official; moving
to that person's superior if the student believes the judgment is unfair; and then
petitioning the dean of the student's college or the dean's designee if still unsatisfied.
The academic program of each college is subject to the appropriate dean and then to the
provost for academic affairs.
