2025-2026 Graduate Bulletin

Preamble

One of the core responsibilities of faculty is the fair and accurate assessment of students in their courses and the assigning of final grades based on those assessments. Faculty are responsible for ensuring students understand the factors that go into the final grades they receive. It is the right of the student to challenge those grades when the student believes grades were determined unfairly or incorrectly. Students who chose to appeal a grade are responsible for supporting their appeals with evidence. This policy explains the process through which these grade appeals are adjudicated.
