3.65.1 Grade Re-evaluation
A student who has reasons which can be substantiated may request a grade re-evaluation according to the following procedure:
- The student must first meet with the instructor (or department head, if the instructor is no longer employed) and request a re-evaluation of her/his performance in class;
- The instructor, upon receipt of the student’s request, will review her/his records. If the instructor determines that the request is valid and substantiated and that a change of grade is justified, the instructor will fill out a change-of-grade form and submit it to the department head for action;
- The department head will forward the form to the Dean;
- The Dean will forward the form to the VPAA;
- The VPAA will forward the form to the Records Office for final action.
If the instructor determines that the request for a change of grade is not justified, the student may appeal. To do so, the student must obtain a “Student Academic Complaint Policy and Procedure” form from the Office of Academic Affairs. The form specifies the action to be taken and the timeline for doing so.
