Grievance Policy to Appeal a Final Grade
The College also has a formal Academic Grievance Policy to Appeal a Final Grade that should be followed if a student believes a final grade has been improperly recorded. Only final grades resulting from the failure of an instructor to follow college policies in classes or on examinations may be grieved. Resolutions of grievances should begin with the individual instructor. If the grievance is not resolved at this level, the grievance should be brought to the chairperson of the particular department. If a satisfactory resolution is not reached at this level, the student should file a formal grade appeal with the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. The complete policy is on file in the Office of the Registrar.
