Grade Appeal Policy

Students who have a dispute with grades for their coursework or for the final course grade should first approach the course instructor for a resolution. If the dispute is not resolved at the course level, the grade appeal process may be initiated.

Coursework grade appeals must be initiated with the director of the program in question by filing a Grade Appeal form within (1) week after grades are posted in Moodle or coursework is returned, whichever comes first. The grade appeal form may be obtained via the Portal or from the Dean's office.

Final course grade appeals must be initiated with the director of the program in question by filing a Grade Appeal form within (1) week after grades are posted in Webservices. The grade appeal form may be obtained via the Portal or from the Dean's office.

Final decisions on grade appeals will be made at the school level and by the appropriate school dean. A dean’s decision regarding a grade appeal is final and may not be appealed further. The grade appeal process is outlined in the Grade Appeal section of the student handbook.
