Important Information about the Grade Appeal Process

Please read through the Grade Appeal Policy so you fully understand the process. The information here is not meant to replace reading through the policy.

  • The entire grade appeal process can take the entire semester to complete.

  • Graduating Seniors: If this is the last class you need to graduate, 你需要决定你是否希望等待这个学期对你的上诉做出决定. If you lose the appeal, 你需要在下个学期重修这门课(毕业时要晚一年)。. 大多数学生选择在你正在进行上诉的那个学期重修这门课，以防上诉被驳回. If you win your appeal, you can withdraw from the enrolled class, however, the Registrar's Office does not offer a refund on the tuition for the class.

  • 你的申诉将被分配给一个由教师和学生组成的年级申诉小组.

  • That panel will NOT have faculty from the same department as the course being appealed.
  • 教授和系主任会收到一份你的申诉材料.
  • 成绩申诉小组将初步决定是否驳回你的申诉，还是继续上诉，并要求教授发表声明. That initial decision is based entirely on your written submission, 所以要确保你清楚自己的理由，并有文件来支持你的主张. You will NOT have an in-person “hearing” with the panel to further explain things. 你的全部解释和文件应包括在你的上诉中，没有任何遗漏. Present your entire case as your original submission.
  • If the panel feels your claim should move forward in the process, they will ask the faculty member for a statement. 你会得到这份声明，并被允许作出反驳声明.
  • 教授的陈述和你的反驳将由成绩上诉小组审查，他们将对成绩做出最终决定.
  • If your appeal is dismissed at any point, then the process is over.
  • 如果你的申诉被批准，那么教授将被要求提出一个新的成绩. 职系上诉委员会将检讨新建议职系，并须在新建议职系生效前获得批准.
  • If you feel that the Grade Appeal Policy process was not followed properly, then at the end of the appeal you can file a procedural appeal. This is an appeal based on a violation of the process. 不同意成绩上诉委员会的决定，不得上诉.
  • 如果你在成绩申诉表的第三个方框中打勾，表明你认为你的成绩是由歧视造成的, harassment, and/or retaliation (DHR) as defined under Title IX, 请注意，如果没有平等机会办公室(OEO)的调查，职系上诉委员会无法评估该申索。. 根据第九章，任何与DHR相关的索赔都在他们的管辖范围内(根据EO 1097)，他们是校园内唯一可以评估索赔的办公室. 如果他们开启一个案件，职级上诉程序将暂停，直到他们的调查完成. You should still submit your Grade Appeal before the deadline, 即使你尚未向eoo提出申请，或他们尚未完成调查. If they determine that a DHR violation occurred, 我们将向成绩申诉经理提供一份报告，该报告将附在你的成绩申诉中. 没有OEO的报告，职级上诉委员会不能评估与DHR索赔相关的职级违规索赔. 任何没有附上该办公室报告的DHR索赔将被职系上诉委员会驳回. 如果你认为你的分数是由于报复或骚扰而不是基于第九条所定义的受保护状态, 你应该考虑将其作为武断和/或反复无常的评分要求. To file a claim with the Office of Equal Opportunity, please email equalopportunity@margaretdahm.com and they will let you know how to submit a claim.
