All grades, including the final grade for all written quizzes and examinations, will be determined by the Course Director.
Grade appeals must be made in writing (email) within 5 business days from the date final grades are received. The appeal should be initiated and resolved in the order shown below. Once the grade disagreement is resolved, the appeal does not need to escalate to the next level.
- Course Director
- Assistant/Associate Dean of Preclinical Education or Assistant/Associate Dean of Clinical Education
- Program Director or Dean (final level of appeal)
The written appeal must state the specific circumstances surrounding the grade dispute. Review of the appeal at each administrative level will be carried out as expediently as possible. If the student is not satisfied with the decision, he or she may appeal to the next administrative level. If the student chooses to continue the appeal, this must be done in writing within five normal business days of the date the decision was rendered at each level of the appeal.
