Change of Grade and Appeal Process

If an error in a student’s final course grade is discovered, an amended grade report is filed with the Registrar's Office, with a copy provided to the academic division chair. Course grades are not changed based on additional work done after the end of the term unless in the case of a previously approved “Incomplete” grade. The final grade in a course is ordinarily based on the sole judgment of the instructor. In the event that a student disagrees with the final grade assigned in a course, the student must first discuss the grade with the instructor. If the student remains dissatisfied, then the student is required to submit a written statement with all supporting evidence attached and submit to the division chair to resolve the issue accordingly.

If the student remains dissatisfied or the issue cannot be resolved by the informal process above, see the Student Initiated Academic Grievance Procedure.
