46. Draft 6A Grade Appeal Procedure 1.The grade appeal procedure is available only for review of the final grade in a course that the student alleges was graded capriciously, not for review of the judgment of the instructor in assessing the quality of students' work or for questioning the stated grading criteria selected by the instructor. Only a student who alleges he/she was subjected to capricious grading may use the grade appeal procedure. 2.Capricious grading, as used here, consists only of any of the following: a.The assignment of a semester grade to a particular student on some basis other than those related to academic performance in the section b.The assignment of a semester grade to a particular student by more exacting or demanding criteria than were applied to other students in the same section. (NOTE: Additional and/or different grading criteria may be applied to graduate students enrolled for credit in a course numbered below the 5000 level) c.The assignment of a semester grade by criteria that represents a substantial departure from the instructor's previously announced criteria. d.The assignment of a semester grade in whole or in part on the basis on the student’s race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability or protected veterans status. 46

47. Draft 6A 3. The grade appeal procedure shall consist of the following steps: a.Except as provided in sections 5, 6 and 7, the initial step in the grade appeal procedure shall be for the student to review with the section instructor the semester grade, the stated grading criteria and how the stated grading criteria were applied to determine the student's semester grade. Any appeal under this policy shall be filed within thirty (30) days following the academic semester in which the grade is assigned. [This step must be initiated within 30 days after the first class day of the succeeding regular academic semester.] If the student and the instructor fail to reach a mutually satisfactory decision during this discussion, then the student may proceed to step b. b.The student shall contact the chair of the instructor's department and request his/her service as a mediator during a discussion between the student and the instructor. If the student and instructor fail to reach a mutually satisfactory decision during this discussion, the student may then proceed to step c. c.The student shall request, in writing, that the department chairperson inform the instructor and convene an ad hoc review group composed of the following: the chair- person (or designated representative) of the instructor's department, the dean (or the dean’s designated representative [provost (or the provost’s designated representative)], and a third member to be appointed by the provost from the faculty. 47

48. 48 d. The student’s written request should include: course, instructor, semester, rationale for considering the grading as arbitrary and capricious, and the outcome sought. The student and instructor shall be allowed to appear before the ad hoc review group. The decision reached by the ad hoc review group on the question of alleged capricious grading shall be binding and final on both the student and the instructor. 4. If capricious grading is substantiated by the ad hoc review group, the student shall be assigned a grade consistent with the stated grading criteria. A report of the ad hoc review group, with the student's semester grade, shall be forwarded by the department chairperson to the Office of the Registrar. 5. Should there be an allegation that the capricious grading was based upon the student’s race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability or protected veterans status, the appeal shall meet the requirements of section 3d and may be received by the departmental chair, the college dean or the university provost.

50. 50 6. Upon completion of the report required in section 5, the joint investigatory team will meet with the ad hoc review group to review the results of the investigation and provide an orientation on the process for consideration of an allegation of discrimination.
