Grade Appeal The purpose of grades is to communicate the instructor’s evaluation of student performance in terms of learning outcomes and standards of achievement. The assignment of grades based on the evaluation of student work is at the heart of the institution’s academic integrity. A student may appeal a grade by a faculty member if he/she feels that the grade is inappropriate. Examples of appropriate reasons for a grade appeal include (this list in not comprehensive): • Demonstrable arithmetical, editing, or factual error in calculating the grade. • Omission of assignments or parts of assignments in calculating the grade. • Grade demonstrably based on impermissible factors such as discrimination, bias, retaliation, or retribution. Step #1 To appeal a grade, the student should first speak to the instructor of the course in question. Step #2 If the instructor denies the appeal or is not available, the student can appeal to the Chair of the Department offering the course. Step #3 If there is still no resolution, the student may appeal to the Provost.
