Grade Appeal Process
Any time there is a misunderstanding between a student and an instructor, or when a student feels an instructor is not treating him or her fairly, the student should follow the appeal process outlined below. These steps are in keeping with the general principles set forth in Matthew 18.
Talk with the instructor to reach a mutual understanding about the differences and to come to terms to resolve the issue. If this does not produce a satisfactory solution to the problem, then
Ask the instructor to arrange a meeting between the two of you and the appropriate Dean. Alternatively, ask your advisor to ask the appropriate Dean to consider your appeal and work with you and the instructor. If a solution cannot be mediated at this point, you have the option to appeal to the Registrar.
Do not hesitate to follow these three steps in the appeal process. Likewise, in the spirit of unity, do not attempt to sidestep any of the steps during your appeal process.
