Appeal of Final Grade
Final Course Grade Appeals
- If a graduate, seminary or doctoral student disagrees with his/her final course grade, the student may appeal to the Registrar at registrar@lbc.edu. The Registrar will email the student requesting he/she answer the following questions:
- What final grade are you appealing?
- Why do you disagree with the final grade?
- What proof/rationale can you provide to support your disagreement and request to change the final grade?
The student will email his/her response to the Registrar within two weeks of receiving the Registrar’s questions. Emails sent to the Registrar after two weeks will not be reviewed.
Once the Registrar receives the student’s response, the Registrar will request a report from the student’s professor. The report will include emails/messages as well as copies of tests, papers, and/or projects that provide information regarding the student’s grade.
The Registrar will convene an appeals committee which will review the student’s appeal and professor’s report.
The Registrar will notify the student of the appeals committee’s decision.
- If the student disagrees with appeals committee’s decision, he/she may appeal to the Provost. The appeal must be emailed to the Provost within two weeks of the appeals committee’s decision. Appeals sent to the Provost after two weeks will not be reviewed.
The Provost will review the student’s appeal and appeals committee’s report. The Provost will notify the student of his/her decision, which is final.
