Grade Appeals.
GRADE APPEAL PROCEDURES
In accordance with Armstrong Atlantic State University regulations, appeals
for a change of grade may be initiated through the head of the appropriate
academic department prior to the mid-term of the semester after the grade
was recieved. Without the approval of the Academic Standing Committee,
no change of grade, other than the resolution of an incomplete, may be
made later than two calendar semesters following the semester in which
the grade was posted.
A student who contests a grade will have the following line of appeal:
- The student will discuss the contested grade with the
instructor involved.
- If the grade dispute remains unresolved, the student will
meet with the department head and the instructor. If the
grade dispute is with the department head, the student will
meet with the dean of the college (or designee) and the
department head. A "memorandum for the record" will
be prepared by the department head (or dean or designee)
which will include the substance of the conversations during
the meeting. The student will receive a copy upon request.
- If the grade dispute remains unresolved, the student will
present his or her appeal in writing to the department head
or dean of the college (or designee), as applicable, who will
then appoint a review board to hear the appeal. The board
will operate according to a-d below. It is expected that the
student will initiate this step within 45 days after the
grade is posted. If a student plans enrollment in a course
for which the course grade being appealed is a prerequisite -
see 4 below.
- The review board will consist of the department head or
dean of the college (or designee), as applicable, and
two members of the department, not including the
instructor involved. A separate hearing officer shall
be appointed by the college dean (or designee). When
deemed necessary by the college dean (or designee),
membership may come from outside of the department.
- The review board shall hear statements from both the
student and the instructor involved and will examine
documents that are pertinent to the matter under review.
- The review board will hear the grade appeal and present
its findings to the dean of the college ( or designee)
within 30 days from the initiation of the appeal.
- If the student plans enrollment in a course for which the
course grade being appealed is a prerequisite, then the
following timetable will be met at the beginning of that
semester/term:
- If a grade appeal is not resolved with the instructor
concerned, then the student will file an appeal in
writing with the department head (or the dean of the
college (or designee) if the grade dispute is with
the department head). This step will be taken by the
first day of classes of the semester/term following
the posting of the disputed grade.
- The review board to hear the appeal will be appointed
by the third day of the term. If department members
are not available to form a review board, the dean of
the college or school, in consultation with the
department head, will appoint a review board.
- The review board will hear and complete the grade
appeal by the fifth day of the term, and present its
findings to the college or school dean through the
hearing officer (or the Vice President if the dean is
a member of the committee).
- If the appeal to the college or school dean is
denied, the student will be disenrolled from the
course if the student is already enrolled.
- If the college dean denies the appeal, the student may
continue the appeal to the vice president/dean of faculty.
This appeal must be in writing and must be filed within five
days of notification from the college or school dean.
- Neither the President nor the Board of Regents will accept or
consider appeals based on academic grades.
