Academic policy

Appeal Procedures, College/School Grade and Academic Dismissal

  • Students should first seek to settle grade disputes informally with the instructor.
  • Each College and School has established formal grade appeal procedures. These procedures are available from the Dean's Office of the College or School and links are provided below. 

The University and each individual School or College have established formal grade appeal procedures. Please reference your appropriate school/college/program for specific grade appeal procedures.

In matters where a College's signed final decision is based upon the evaluation of a student's academic performance, and when review procedures available to him/her within the College have been exhausted, the student may request the Vice Provost for Academic Programs to review that decision on the record.
