Grievance Procedures: Academic

Appeals concerning classroom requirements, assignments, and grades should be made directly to the faculty member involved. If a resolution is not found, a written petition should go to the School Dean. If the student does not agree with the Dean’s decision, the student may appeal to the Provost. The Provost is the final arbiter for the University.

If a student would like to request special consideration or exceptions to standard academic policies, curricular requirements, etc. a written petition detailing the request and the rationale for it may be submitted to the Dean. This petition will be presented to the School’s full-time faculty (whole or committee) for a vote. If a satisfactory resolution is not found, the student may appeal to the Provost. The Provost is the final arbiter for the University.
