The appeal form provides a formal process for documenting academic withdrawal appeals.

This form is intended for students who believe an error, bias, or capriciousness occurred in determining or scoring their final grade after they have first attempted to resolve the concern directly with the course instructor.

Students must first contact their instructor through the course message system within 10 calendar days after the end of the course term, while course access is still available.

• If the concern is not resolved, students may submit a formal grade appeal within 60 days of the end of the course. Appeals submitted after 60 days will not be accepted.
• The student must present evidence of error, bias, or capriciousness in determining or scoring the final grade.

We will conduct a thorough review of all relevant information, which may include course materials, communication records, academic policies, and input from appropriate university offices. This review ensures that all decisions are made fairly and in accordance with institutional policy.

Appeals based solely on dissatisfaction with the grade or the outcomes of assignments, without evidence of error, bias, or capriciousness, will not be considered.

The grade appeal decision is final. No further appeal will be accepted.
