DigitalCrafts Grade Appeals
Grade Appeals
Faculty are responsible for the awarding of course grades. This policy and procedure allows students to appeal final course grades only.
The basis for a grade appeal is limited to the following reasons: (a) violation of DigitalCrafts policy, (b) violation of course policy, or (c) questions regarding the accuracy and/or fairness of an assessment. The written appeal must include the reason(s) for appealing the grade and provide documentation supporting the appeal. The final grade on the student record could be lower, higher, or the same as the grade initially appealed.
Level 1 Appeal:
- A grade appeal must be submitted to the instructor of record within one week following receipt of the final grade.
- The instructor of record will review the appeal and issue a decision.
Level 2 Appeal:
- The decision made by the instructor of record may be appealed to the CAO/designee within one week following Level 1 decision notification.
- Students must include the correspondence and decision documentation from the Level 1 appeal.
- The CAO or their designee shall render a decision. This decision is final and cannot be appealed further.
