11.3 Grade Review Policy
A student may question a grade on an exam or assignment within ten business days of assignment/exam/course grade being posted. Requests to review a grade must be submitted to the instructor in writing, with documentation supporting the request for a grade change. The instructor is responsible for responding to the student within ten business days from receipt of the request. Extenuating circumstances, such as semester breaks or temporary unavailability of faculty, may necessitate a longer interval between request and resolution.
Should the student not be satisfied with the instructor’s review, the student may present the same argument for review to the Department Chair in the program in which the student is enrolled.
If necessary, the departmental executive committee will be convened to hear the student’s appeal and deliberate the outcome. Students are permitted to attend the hearing and provide any further clarification on the matter. Students are not permitted to be present for the committee deliberation nor voting.
The Department Chair will notify the student of the final outcome of the student’s appeal.
If the student is not satisfied with the action taken by the department, the student may initiate the School of Healthcare Leadership Grievance Policy.
