Academic Evaluation

Academic evaluation of student performance shall be neither prejudiced nor capricious. A student who believes an evaluation to be deficient in this or any other way should seek remedy first through conference with the instructor. If a satisfactory resolution does not follow from that conference a student may carry the matter to the instructor’s departmental chair and, eventually, to the Provost. Such requests must be submitted within one year after grade transcription.
