A student wishing to protest a course grade must first try to resolve the problem with the faculty member. If no satisfactory solution is reached, either the student, the faculty member, or both may call the case to the attention of the appropriate chairperson, division administrator, or appropriate dean. If not resolved, the dean then refers the case to the Committee on Academic Conduct for hearing within ten school days. Referrals to the Committee on Academic Conduct should be made within a two-week period following the discovery of the alleged infraction and are not accepted after that period except on majority vote of the Committee. In all cases, the burden of proof rests on the accuser.
