Grade Appeal Process
Students who experience an issue with their grade in a course from our department (377 or 955) should first attempt to resolve the issue with the course instructor. Students and faculty are encouraged to do this via email to have written documentation of the grade issue and attempts at resolution.
If the student is unable to resolve the issue with the course instructor, the student should email the Undergraduate Director for the Department of Kinesiology and Health to explain the conflict, detail the grounds for an appeal, and attach a PDF of the emails demonstrating that the student attempted but was unsuccessful at resolving the issue with the course instructor. The Undergraduate Director will then contact the course instructor to do the same. After reviewing the issue and attempts at resolution, the Undergraduate Director will provide the student with a response in a timely manner (typically within 2-3 business days).
If the student is having a grade dispute and their course instructor is the Undergraduate Director for the Department of Kinesiology and Health, the student should email the Department Chair for the Department of Kinesiology and Health instead.
If, and only if, the grade dispute is still not resolved after discussions with instructor and the Undergraduate Director, the student will be directed to contact the Chair of the Department of Kinesiology and Health and will again, be asked to provide a PDF demonstrating the previous attempts at resolution.
If the student would like to appeal the Department decision, they need to contact their SAS/SEBS Dean.
