ACADEMIC APPEAL PROCEDURE
If you wish to appeal a matter subject to the academic appeal procedure
(see undergraduate catalog), you must first contact the instructor or
person directly responsible for the matter being grieved and discuss the
matter with him/her. Whenever possible, grievances should be resolved
at this level.
If no agreement is reached at this level, you should contact the chairperson
of the unit involved and discuss the matter with him/her. If no agreement
is reached at this level, you should contact the department/program coordinator
and discuss the matter with him/her. If no agreement is reached at this
level and you wish to pursue the grievance, you must file a written grievance
with the vice president for academic affairs documenting that the above
steps were taken. No appeal will be considered unless:
•
You file the grievance in writing, stating the specific complaint, reasons
for the complaint and the remedy suggested.
• Your request
to the vice president for academic affairs is made within 45 calendar
days following the incident or notice upon which the alleged grievance
is based, or in case of a contested grade, within 45 days following the
end of the term in which the grade was received.
• You
and the professor or administrator involved submit all supporting documents
ten days prior to the scheduled hearing.
Copies of the academic appeal procedure, including information on board
composition and hearing procedures, are available in the office of the
Vice President for Academic Affairs.
The
Academic Review Board
Marygrove students are considered to be in “good academic standing”
at the College if their cumulative GPA is 2.0 or better and if they are
making satisfactory progress toward a degree. Satisfactory academic progress
is defined to be completion of two-thirds of the credit hours for which
a student registers at the beginning of the semester. In the event a student
falls below the 2.0 GPA requirement, specific guidelines exist to determine
the action to be taken on behalf of the student. Such action is directed
by the academic review board and will be taken only after:
•
12 hours have been attempted at Marygrove by a first year student, or
• A sophomore, junior, or senior has completed at least one
semester at Marygrove.
The academic review board is a committee of faculty and academic administrators
who are responsible for reviewing matters relating to academic requirements.
The academic review board meets twice a year, in December and May.
