Grade Appeals
The procedure for grade appeals at the graduate level involves following a sequence of consultations. An appeal may be settled during an early stage, but the complete process includes five steps:
- Student meets with course instructor;
- Student meets with departmental faculty member who serves as grade appeal agent (see University Charter B-II. G.9);
- Student meets with the departmental chair or program director;
- Graduate College grade appeal committee reviews the student's grade appeal;
- Graduate dean designate reviews the due process procedures.
All levels of the appeal process are advisory to the instructor. Only the course instructor can change a student's grade.
It is the student's responsibility to follow the steps in the procedure according to the sequence outlined above. Grade and absence grievances may not be appealed beyond the Graduate College level.
Deadlines
The grade appeals procedure must be initiated by the end of the fifth week of the spring semester for grades received during fall semester, and by the end of the fifth week of fall semester for grades received during the spring or summer semester. All actions for grade changes must be completed during the semester in which the grade is appealed.
