成绩上诉政策
Students who disagree with the assignment of a final grade by an instructor may file
an appeal under these procedures.
职系决定覆检
This process is available only to review allegedly unfair final course grade decisions, not mere differences of opinion regarding the professional judgment of the instructor who made the grade decision, or to dispute grades on assignments, tests, or other work within a course. 在下列情况下，成绩决定可能被认为是不公平的：
- Was based on factors other than performance in the course and/or compliance with course assignments and requirements;
- Involved more exacting or demanding standards than were applied to other students in the same course section;
- Constitutes a substantial departure from the instructor’s standards as articulated
in the course syllabus, catalog descriptions, and/or other written materials.
程序
希望对成绩决定提出上诉的学生必须按照以下步骤进行：
1. 非正式会议
The student must attempt to resolve the matter directly with the instructor through
a personal conference as soon as possible after the grade decision is known, but no
later than the end of the first full week of the following regular academic term.
If the student is unable to arrange a conference or is not satisfied with the instructor’s
explanation of the grade, the student may request in writing that the Dean of the
school which offered the course convene a conference with the student and instructor.
If the instructor is unavailable or unwilling to confer with the student, the student
may request a formal review by the appropriate Dean.
2. 院长审查
- If the student and the instructor cannot reach a mutually satisfactory resolution to the problem, the student may file a formal appeal. The appeal must be presented in writing, together with relevant documents, to the appropriate Dean no later than the 20th day of college instruction in the following academic term. The student must describe the appeal, identify which of the three (3) reasons the appeal is based on (See 职系决定覆检ed above), detail the reasons the student believes the decision unfair, and document the student’s attempts to resolve the appeal informally. For purposes of this section, fall semester and spring semester shall each constitute an academic term. 学生应将申诉副本送交导师。 The instructor shall have ten (10) working days to respond after receipt of the appeal. If the instructor does not respond within that time frame, the Dean will consider the appeal and documents formally submitted by the student.
- The Dean shall review the appeal and all of the submitted documentation, interview persons relevant to the appeal when necessary, and render a written decision within ten (10) working days of receipt of the instructor’s response. A copy of the Dean’s decision will be given to the instructor and the student. If the Dean is also the instructor whose grade is the subject of the appeal, the Vice President for Academic Affairs shall select another Dean to conduct the appeal process.
3. 教职员评议
学生或讲师可以对院长的决定提出上诉。 Such appeal must be
filed in writing and submitted to the 负责学术事务的副校长 within five
(5) working days of receipt of the Dean’s decision, with copies to the instructor,
the student, and the Dean. The written appeal shall deal only with the part or parts
of the Dean’s decision that the appellant disputes. New evidence, information, or
supporting documents cannot be included as part of the appeal except when, by clear
and convincing evidence, it is established that such information was not available
at the time of the original appeal. The 负责学术事务的副校长 will submit
the appeal to the Faculty Senate for review. The Faculty Senate may interview the
student, the instructor, the Dean and other appropriate persons, but only to discuss
the issues in dispute in the appeal. The Faculty Senate will submit a written decision
to the student, the instructor, and the Dean. The decision of the Faculty Senate is
the final decision of the College.
