A grade appeals procedure has been established for cases in which a student believes their grade does not reflect academic performance. Within three calendar weeks following the issuance of the grade in question, the student shall confer with the instructor who issued the grade and outline the reasons why they believe the grade is incorrect. Following the student-instructor conference, the instructor shall advise the student of the outcome of the course grade review and shall process a grade change if appropriate.
If the student still considers the grade to be incorrect, the student may appeal the grade to the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs within fourteen calendar days following the student-instructor conference. The complete grade appeals policy and procedure is available in the Student Handbook found on the website at www.dakotacollege.edu. Students may also contact the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs regarding questions relating to the grade appeals policy.
