25 withdrawal from a course at a time when the students work is below passing quality; F indicates insufficient attendance to warrant a passing grade. Grade Reports At the end of each semester, a grade report is sent to each student at the permanent home address currently on file in the Office of the Registrar. Change of address forms are available in the Offices of the Dean of Students and of the Registrar. Students are urged to check the grade report for accuracy. Errors should be reported to the Registrar immediately. Appealing a Final Grade When a student wishes to contest a final grade assigned by an instructor, the following procedure must be initiated within ten school days of the date postmarked on the grade report. 1. The student will confer with the instructor who assigned the grade. 2. If the discussion with the instructor proves unsatisfactory, the student will confer with the chairperson of the department of which the instructor is a member. 3. If the discussion with the chairperson of the department proves unsatisfactory, the student may appeal the case to the Dean of the College. 4. If the appeal to the Dean of the College proves unsatisfactory, the student, as a final appeal, will request the Dean to call a meeting of the instructor, the chairperson of the department and the Dean of the College. The student may present evidence supporting the request for a change in grade. Final decision of the issue will be made by the Dean of the College. Change of an Officially Recorded Grade Except in the case of clerical or machine error, an officially recorded grade may be changed only by means of a written request to that effect, signed by the instructor and filed in the Office of the Dean of the College. Student requests for a change of grade must be made within ten school days after the mailing of the official grade report form. A change of grade which is submitted later than sixty school days after the close of the semester for which the grade was given will not be honored by the Office of the Registrar. Course Repeat Policy 1. A student is allowed to repeat once up to three courses in the major in which the student has earned a grade of C- or below. When a passed course is repeated, the course will count only once toward the required graduation course count. 2. All earned grades will appear on the students permanent academic record. When a course in a students major is repeated, both grades remain on the transcript and are computed in the cumulative grade point average, but only the higher grade is computed in the major grade point average.
