'''Policy Scope''' | |||
The following guidelines are intended to describe the process by which a student enrolled in a course where the College of Allied Health Professions (CAHP) is granting credit and assigning faculty to teach the course can appeal an academic evaluation. Courses taught outside of the CAHP will be handled in the college that is granting the credit. The student may reach out to the CAHP Conduct Officer, who also serves as the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs, with questions about the process or eligibility of the appeal to fall within the CAHP’s appeals of academic evaluations process. | |||
'''Policy Definitions''' | |||
Academic Evaluation – An academic evaluation subject to appeal under this policy is defined as any summative or formative assessment or evaluation of a student including but not limited to individual or comprehensive assessments and final course academic evaluations. | |||
Receiving an Academic Evaluation Grade – A grade that has been communicated by the instructor through written or electronic means such as posting in the learning management system. | |||
'''Procedures''' | |||
Stage I: Informal Appeal | |||
#Within five business days after receiving an academic evaluation grade which the student believes is prejudiced or capricious, the student should discuss the matter directly with the instructor who conducted the evaluation. | |||
#If a satisfactory agreement with the instructor cannot be made, the student has five business days to appeal in writing to the program director and/or chair of the department granting credit for the course. The program director and/or chair of the department will forward the appeal in writing to the CAHP Conduct Officer for notification. | |||
#If a satisfactory agreement with the program director and/or chair of the department granting credit for the course cannot be made, the student may initiate a formal appeal. | |||
