2.11 Grade Challenges
I. Purpose
Establish mechanism for student to appeal a grade.
II. Scope
Applicable to all grades earned in courses taken for academic credit.
III. General
The college provides an appeal procedure for students who believe that a recorded grade is not the one earned in a course. Students should first consult the course faculty member to resolve the matter. If resolution is not achieved, then the Department Dean should be consulted. The final step in the appeal process is the Committee on Academic Performance. It should be noted that only the faculty member of a course makes a grade change. Other steps in the appeal process are advisory. Students are urged to retain all graded work until final grades have been received from the college.
No appeal for a change of a grade will be considered after one year has elapsed since the end of the semester or session in which the grade was received.
