Grade Changes

Questions regarding grades in a course must be resolved within 90 calendar days following the posting of the grade. Grade changes are approved only for correction of errors in computing the grade, and a grade change form must be submitted no later than the close of the semester/summer session following the posting of the grade.

Grievance issues regarding grades, course requirements, and classroom procedures can occur. The first and foremost contact for resolving the problem is with the course instructor. The university expects most issues to be resolved amicably and informally with the professor. If an informal resolution is not possible, students may file a written grievance on a General Petition Form, available online at www.leighton-edu.us/academics/forms. These forms must be submitted with the course instructor's signature within 90 calendar days of the Registrar's Office posting of the final grades for the course.

Appeals may be contemplated at the following levels, as necessary: course instructor, departmental chair, school dean, vice president for academic affairs. Faculty are required to retain all evaluated student material not previously returned for six months after the end of the last class of the term evaluated.
