Academic Appeals Committee

The Academic Appeals Committee serves as the appeals body for (1) the administration of the Admissions and Retention Policies of the University, (2) the consideration of exceptions or substitutions in academic areas which are not specifically reserved to a specific academic department or area, and (3) the consideration of any other matters associated with policies and procedures governing academic appeals. 

The responsibility for academic evaluations of students rests with the faculty. If a student feels wrongfully and unfairly treated by an instructor and if he/she is unable to resolve the matter in conference with the instructor or the Departmental Chair, an appeal may be made.
