Appeals

The Ombudsman's office is an independent and confidential place where you can go for advising and direction. The ombudsman is often an intermediary between 亚洲自慰视频s and the services that the 亚洲自慰视频 provides.

Additionally, the Ombudsman is a 亚洲自慰视频 advocate during the discipline and grade appeals processes. Faculty, staff, and administrators can refer 亚洲自慰视频s to the Ombudsman for any of these matters.

about the Ombudsman in the 亚洲自慰视频 Code of Conduct.

All 亚洲自慰视频s are welcome to come by without referral during posted office hours or by appointment.

If you have been placed on disciplinary probation, the 亚洲自慰视频 Ombudsman is available to assist you. The Ombudsman can inform you of your rights and protect those rights during deliberations, including hearings, involving disciplinary action and course grade appeals.

In addition to the Ombudsman, you may have only one other person accompany you in the disciplinary hearing meeting, and that person can confer quietly with their advice.

The 亚洲自慰视频 Ombudsman can assist you in academic appeals processes.

To begin a grade appeal, the Ombudsman recommends that you fill out:

  1. , and
  2. if you have been placed on probation or suspension.
     


about the grade appeal guidelines.

If you feel you have received an unfair or capricious final grade in a course, you can appeal that grade if it meets one of the following criteria. You cannot use the procedure to question an instructor's professional judgment or the content of an exam. You can only appeal final grades.

Those criteria are:

  • When the 亚洲自慰视频 contends that the professor has violated the professor鈥檚 own specified grading standards or has imposed criteria different from those used to evaluate the academic work of other 亚洲自慰视频s in the class.
  • When the 亚洲自慰视频 has been charged by the professor with cheating, plagiarism, or collusion resulting in a reduced grade or a grade of 鈥淔鈥 in the course and the 亚洲自慰视频 contends that the charges are untrue and the penalty therefore unjust.
  • When the 亚洲自慰视频 has either been given a grade of 鈥淔鈥 in a course or been given a grade lower than what the 亚洲自慰视频 earned through proper academic work because the professor accuses the 亚洲自慰视频 of being in violation of 亚洲自慰视频 Rules or Regulations, discipline for which should be administered by the Vice President for 亚洲自慰视频 Affairs (or designee) and not by the instructor in any given course.
  • When the instructor demands as a condition of passing a course any condition not germane to the subject matter of the course.
  • In order to appeal a final grade under these guidelines a 亚洲自慰视频 must start the appeal process within twenty (20) school days of the end of the semester or summer session in which the grade was received. Initiation of the appeals procedure is accomplished by the 亚洲自慰视频 notifying the 亚洲自慰视频 Ombudsman in writing of the 亚洲自慰视频鈥檚 intention to appeal a final grade and providing the Ombudsman with specific information concerning the appeal.
  • If unsuccessful, the 亚洲自慰视频 then meets with the 亚洲自慰视频 Ombudsman who will guide the 亚洲自慰视频 through the remainder of the appeals process. Copies of the Guidelines for Appealing Unfair and/or Capricious Final Grades can be obtained from the Ombudsman or the Academic Vice President.
