If a student disputes his or her final course grade, they must discuss the matter with the faculty member assigning the grade by the end of the next regular semester. If the faculty member disagrees with the student’s case for changing the grade, the student may appeal to the chairperson of the department that offered the course. If the chairperson disagrees, the student may appeal to the dean or program director of the area that offered the course. If the faculty member, chairperson, and dean or program director all disagree with the student’s request, the student may then appeal to the Academic Affairs Committee of the IU South Bend Academic Senate. The committee will then make its recommendation to the vice chancellor for academic affairs, who makes the final, binding resolution.

If the faculty member, chairperson, or dean or program director supports the student’s appeal, the student and the person supporting the appeal must submit a written appeal to the Academic Affairs Committee. That committee will review the appeal and make a recommendation to the vice chancellor for academic affairs, who makes the final, binding resolution.

(Policy approved by the IU South Bend Academic Senate, 2/24/1995.)
