Appeals
Students have the right to question a decision based on faculty approved policies and made by faculty or administrative staff. Any appeal must be based on evidence that a factual or procedural error was made or that some significant piece of information was overlooked. All appeals must follow the outlined procedures in order to receive fair consideration. Classes of Appeal In general, there are two kinds of appeals students can make. a. Appeal of administrative action: A student may appeal to the Executive Committee a Assistant Vice President for Student Life after all other prescribed appeal procedures have been exhausted. The Executive Committee is composed of a minimum of four staff officers and four faculty members. The decisions of the Executive Committee will be considered final and become effective upon ratification by the Chair. b. Grading decision: Students who wish to appeal a grade awarded by a faculty member should discuss the matter first with the faculty member. If a satisfactory conclusion of the question is not reached, a student may appeal the matter to the department chair. The decision of the department chair is final. Time Limitations Appeals of grades or administrative action by a student must be made within five days of the time that the action is made known to the student by the appropriate officer. If the University is not in session at the time the decision is made, the time limitation will begin at the start of the next regular session (fall or spring). Format of Appeals All appeals must be made in writing to the appropriate officer. A basis for the appeal must be clearly stated, and evidence in support of the appeal must be included in the appeal. Appeals directed to the Executive Committee should be addressed to the chair of the Executive Committee.
