Graduate Grade Changes Policy
All requests for grade changes must be directed to the faculty member
who originally awarded the grade. If the faculty member warrants a grade
change, the faculty member may complete a change-of-grade form which is
submitted to the department head. Change of grade requests must be approved and
signed by the faculty member, department head, and school dean and forwarded to
Academic Services to update the student’s academic record. All grade changes
must be completed by the end of the semester following the one in which the
first grade was first issued.
The
administration is not authorized to change a student's grade unless the grade
was found to be issued in an arbitrary or capricious fashion, or is unable or
unwilling to perform the function of the grading process.
If a student disputes a grade and an acceptable solution is not reached
by discussion with the faculty member, the student should put the issue
regarding the grade or grading procedure in writing and deliver a copy to the
faculty member and department head. The faculty
member will cooperate with the department head for review and assessment,
including, but not limited to: instructional materials, grade books, exams and
syllabi. This process is not intended to replace informal conferences between a
student and a faculty member concerning the issuance of a grade.
