Physics Department

(Revised 1979)
(Reaffirmed 1992)

If a student believes that his/her academic performance has been unfairly or improperly graded, (s)he should discuss the matter with his/her instructor. If the student is still not satisfied, the following appeal procedures may be followed:

  1. A written report, stating the alleged injustice as the student sees it, is submitted to the appropriate office at the College level which is responsible for academic actions. In the case of LS&A, the report would go to the Office of the Assistant Dean for Student Academic Affairs (1402 Mason Hall). This report should describe, as well as possible, the student's conception of how his/her grade was assigned.
  2. The Assistant Dean sends a copy of the report to the Physics Department Associate Chairman and asks him/her to investigate the allegation.
  3. The Department Chairman requests from the instructor a description, in writing, of the procedure used to assign grades in the section to which the student belonged.
  4. The Associate Chairman who is concerned with undergraduate affairs will evaluate the material and send a copy of his/her report to the Assistant Dean and to the student. Should this not lead to a satisfactory resolution of the problem, an ad hoc committee will be appointed to further consider the case.
