XX. GRADE’S COMPLAINT:If any of the student’s grades (Except final grade) has been erroneously calculated, contact the instructor via e-mail, within two weeks of the day you have received the grade. Overdue grade’s complaint will not be considered

XXI. GRADE APPEAL POLICY:The appeals policy applies to the course final grade only. There is an Appeal Procedure for Instructional Grading (see Student Policy Manual, Part V, for the complete Grade Appeal Process). The appeal process must be accomplished within one term (excluding the summer term) of the final grade’s assignment.

XXII. STUDENT’S COMPLAINT:If the student has a personal complaint related to the instructor, or instruction materials, the student must state in written his/her complaint (there is a special form for this purpose) and do the following.1. Give the written complaint to the instructor; he/she has seven days to respond. 2. If the instructor’s response is unsatisfactory, the student takes the complaint to the Department Chair.
