Grading Policy
Individual faculty members determine the grading policy for each
course. Faculty members clearly state in the course syllabus the
specific criteria by which the grade will be assigned, including the
relative weight of assignments, papers, examinations, attendance and
other assessments. Only the faculty member has the authority to change
grades.

Contesting a Grade
Grades are computed in accordance with the course syllabus and inclass
instructions. If you are unsure about the accuracy of a grade,
you should approach the professor and respectfully request a detailed
explanation of how the grade was computed. If this discussion does not
result in satisfactory resolution, then you should contact the Academic
Dean. Please approach the matter with respectful conversation and
behavior.
Any grade that is in question, including a semester grade, should be
brought to the professor’s attention within two weeks of you receiving
the grade. Professors are given one month from the time semester
grades are issued to make a change in the Registrar’s Office if deemed
appropriate.
