Appeals

Appealing a final grade in a course:  The deadline for full-year courses or half courses completed in the second (Winter) term is June 30th, 2012

The process for appealing a final grade is:

Step 1:  appeal to your instructor; explain your reasons for requesting a change in your grade.

Step 2 (when Step 1 does not achieve the desired result):  appeal to the Departmental Chair or Undergraduate Chair in writing, outlining your reasons for requesting a grade change

Step 3 (when Step 2 does not achieve the desired result):  appeal to the Faculty Dean - in writing, as indicated in Step 2 above.
