Student Academic Petitions Appeals Committee (SAPAC)
The SAPAC committee reviews students' petitions the third Tuesday of each month during the spring and fall semesters. Typically in January there is no meeting. Once the committee has met, it takes about two weeks for processing and students are then notified by mail with the results.
Grade Appeal Instructions for Business Administration, Criminal Justice Administration, and Public Administration Undergraduate Students
Grounds for Appealing a Grade
A grade appeal is permitted when a student can show clear evidence that a grade was contrary to procedures as specified in the course syllabus, was based on prejudice, was capricious, or was the result of computational or clerical error. The presumption is that the grades assigned are correct until there is a clear demonstration otherwise. The burden of proof is heavy, and it rests with the student who is appealing.
Grade Appeal Process
1. You must seek to resolve the matter informally with the instructor of record or other appropriate individual. For you to be able to proceed with a grade appeal, you must have met with the faculty member within the regular semester session of the time you knew or should have known of the problem or dispute, unless there is a prior agreement for extension between you and the Department Chair.
It is best to submit your grade appeal request to the instructor via email. The email subject should be “Grade Appeal”. In the body of the email, make sure to include the following:
- Your name as it is listed on the class roster
- The course number, including section
- A detailed description of why you believe you received a grade you did not deserve.
2. If an informal resolution with the instructor is not possible, students are advised to go to the Department Chair for further resolution. Please visit the College website to view the academic departments at
3. If the matter is not worked out informally within 15 classroom days to the satisfaction of the parties, you or your representative may send the grade appeal form to the Associate Dean and copy the Student Support Coordinator.
