If a student believes there is an error with their final grade in a class, the student should first discuss their concerns with the instructor who issued the grade. If the student and instructor cannot resolve the matter, the student can file a Grade Appeal Form with the University. The student may file a grade appeal based on their perception that either:
- The instructor made an error in the calculation of the course grade, or
- The instructor was incorrect concerning an objective fact within the discipline, and this error affected the student’s final grade.
The student's grade appeal is reviewed by the Academic Issues Liaison in the Student Affairs Department. If the Academic Issues Liaison finds that the evidence supports a possible error, they will seek a recommended resolution from the leadership of the appropriate college. This recommended outcome represents a final decision on the student's grade appeal.
For a more detailed explanation of the Grade Appeal process, see the UAGC Faculty Handbook.
