Student Complaints Concerning Faculty
Complaints must be initiated during the semester or summer term when the concern arises or within two weeks of the first day of instruction of the next regular semester, regardless of enrollment status and includes the first step of consultation with the faculty member, the possible second step of mediation within the department, and the possible third step of review by dean or designee.

Grade Appeals Policies
A student who considers a grade to have been determined improperly may within two weeks of the beginning of the next semester (not including summer terms) begin a grade appeal process. The first step is to confer with the instructor. If this does not produce mutually satisfactory results, the student will contact the department chair to obtain a grade appeals form. This will take place within two weeks of the conference with the instructor (within four weeks of the beginning of the next semester, not including summer terms). The complete grade appeals procedure policy is outlined in the Code of Student Conduct. (See above for information on procuring the Code).
