Listed below are requirements for grade change requests.

1. Requests for grade appeals will not be considered later than the end of the semester following the semester in which the grade was awarded. In a summer session the dispute must be initiated not later than the end of the following fall semester. A student will receive a written response within ten (10) working days after a written appeal. The appropriate faculty member will be notified in writing regarding the resolution of the matter.

2. Requests for grade changes based on College clerical error are reviewed by the Registrar. If appropriate documentation of an error is established, the Registrar submits a grade change request to the instructor on behalf of the student.

Students who believe that they have a grade related grievance should:

1. Discuss the problem with the instructor

2. If the grievance cannot be resolved with the instructor, the student may appeal to the Division Dean.

3. If the grievance cannot be resolved at the Division Dean level, the student may submit a written appeal to the Vice President of Instruction. The Vice President of Instruction may request a written account of the situation from the instructor and Division Dean.

4. If the grievance cannot be resolved at the Vice President level, the student may submit a final appeal to the President. The President will review all previously submitted documentation. The President's decision is final.
