2.10 - Grade Appeal Policy

Purpose

To identify the conditions to appeal a final course grade(s).

Scope

This applies to all students and faculty at KCKCC.

Policy Statement

Students are responsible for meeting the standards of academic performance established for each course in which they are enrolled. Faculty have the right to determine standards for grading and devise a system for the calculation of grades. These standards and system for calculating grades must be included in the course syllabi. Only final grades may be appealed. Grade appeals in selective admission programs may be handled differently as outlined in their respective student handbooks.

Grade appeals will be handled through the KCKCC Grade Appeal Procedure (Procedure 2.10A).
