Academic Integrity Grade Appeal Policy

The student submits a written appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The deadline for initiating an academic integrity appeal is thirty (30) days after notification of the grade.

The Vice President consults with the involved faculty member(s) and appropriate division chairs to seek a resolution to the matter.

If no resolution is achieved, the matter is sent to the Academic Integrity Council.

The Council shall consist of the chairperson of the division in which the offense occurred, an uninvolved faculty member from the department in which the offense occurred, another faculty member from outside the department, and a student representative to be determined by the Student Government Association. The Council reviews the case and speaks to the involved faculty member and student as needed. The Council then makes a decision regarding penalty or dismissal. The Council’s decision is final.
