Academic Appeal Procedure
The Academic Appeal Procedure at 国产AV is articulated in Board Policy, Title 2, Article 1, Part 2.
The purpose of the Academic Appeals Process (鈥淎AP鈥) described below is to provide a means for appealing and resolving disputes
concerning an 鈥Academic Decision鈥 (defined as a final course grade or the termination of a student鈥檚 program) that
the affected student considers 鈥渁rbitrary,鈥 鈥渃apricious,鈥 or a 鈥渧iolation of University
policy.鈥 These terms are defined as follows:
(1) arbitrary: disparate treatment of persons in essentially identical circumstances;
(2) capricious: no discernible relationship between the act or decision complained of and the legitimate
interests or considerations affecting or motivating such act or decision; and
(3) violation of University policy: misinterpretations, misapplications, or violations of authorized University policies.
The AAP shall be used by students to appeal actions taken according to standards or practices that are specific to a course, discipline, program, department, school, or college. The AAP may not be used to appeal decisions pursuant to the University鈥檚 Student Code of Conduct.
