It is the responsibility of the faculty to evaluate student performance and assign grades. However, PLNU has established a course grade appeal policy that may be used when a student believes that the syllabus was not followed in the grade calculation, or believes that the grading was done in a capricious and arbitrary manner. An appeal is not proper if a student is simply dissatisfied with a grade that was based on the faculty member's professional judgment.
A Course Grade Appeal Form is available in the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Administration. Any such appeal must be filed within one year from the end of the course in which the grade was given.
Further information about the steps to be followed in a course grade appeal is available in the office of the Vice Provost for Academic Administration.
