A student who feels that the grade he/she received in a class is unfair may appeal the grade by following the Academic Affairs chain of command. The petitioner must follow the process outlined by this form.
Step one: The student must compose a letter indicating the exact nature of the appeal.
I have read and understand the policy and have attached to this form a copy of my written appeal:
