the student indicates an intention to continue to pursue the issue, the Dean will complete the appropriate section of the form and forward it to the Provost, initiating Step 4 of the Grade Appeal Process. Step 4: Appeal to the Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs If the student is discontent with the outcome of Step 3, the student can choose to make a request for an appeal with the Provost. This request must be made within ten business days of the conclusion of Step 3. The student will present the Provost with: • The grade appeal form previously submitted to the Dean • A written summary of what occurred during Steps 1-3, and • A statement documenting why the student wishes to continue the appeals process. After the Provost reviews all written documents concerning the appeal, the Provost will determine if the appeal has been sufficiently vetted through Steps 1-3 AND if the final grade should stand. If the Provost determines the appeal has been properly vetted and the final grade should stand then the Provost will inform all parties involved in Steps 1-3 in writing as to this finding. However, if the Provost determines the appeal was not sufficiently vetted through the process, and/or the appeal still has merit, and the student and faculty member are still at an impasse, then the Provost will meet with members of that department’s D.C. (Departmental Committee) to discuss a possible resolution as soon as possible. The purpose of this meeting is for the Provost to discuss with departmental members the scope of the appeal to try to provide a path for resolution. This meeting can take place in person/telephone or electronically/virtually and must include at least two other members of the department (excluding the faculty member involved in the appeal) from the Departmental Committee. The Chairperson of that department may assist the Provost in identifying these two D.C. members, but the Department Chairperson should not be present at this meeting. After the meeting, the Provost will determine and notify all parties (involved in steps 1-4) in writing of the final outcome of the appeal. The provost will also communicate with the registrar’s office if a change of grade is needed.
