Grade Appeals
A student may petition a grade change by using the Grade Appeals Process if satisfactory resolution cannot be achieved after consultation with the instructor and/or Dean. The Grade Appeals Process must be formally initiated with a written appeal to the Dean within four months following awarding of the original grade. Please contact the dean of the college in which the grade was given for a copy of the grade appeals process.
Appeals to a Regulation
A graduate student has the right to file a request for a waiver to a regulation of the Graduate College. The student request must be made in writing to the Dean of the Graduate College, who serves as Chair of the Graduate Council. The request (appeal) will be considered by the Graduate Council. A simple majority vote rules. The student may personally appear before the Council to further present his/her case and answer questions. The petition for Graduate Student Appeal form can be located in the Graduate Forms folder.
