Student Appeals and Concerns

Students who wish to appeal a course grade should do so in accordance with University policies. Normally, the student should start by discussing the grade with the professor of the course. If necessary, the appeal may be pursued with the program director. If the student believes that the grade was inconsistent with stated policies, a further appeal can be brought to the Senior Associate Dean of the College (returning alumni would take such appeals to the Deputy Dean of the College). 

For other concerns related to the program, it is suggested that students first consult with the professor or staff member associated with the concern. If the concern is not resolved at that level, the student should consult with the director of the program. If the above steps do not address the issue, then the student should bring the concern to their residential college staff or to the Office of the Dean of the College. Incidents of discrimination or harassment should be reported to the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity.
