Academic Grievance Policy

Students who disagree with an academic decision, such as a grade, program dismissal, course substitution, etc., made by an instructor or administrator, i.e. program director, division director, etc., have the right to appeal the decision.

When possible, a student should attempt to resolve the complaint informally, by bringing it to the attention of the individual(s) directly involved. However, when informal methods fail, the College will assist in the resolution of complaints through the formal procedures outlined on the following pages.
