Academic Dishonesty & Grade Appeals
The university’s Grade Appeal policy requires you to first contact your instructor to see if you two can work out the concern informally. Once you have discussed the grade with your instructor, and if you remain dissatisfied, you should contact the department chair to inquire about submitting a formal appeal. Click here for a department directory. A student’s appeal will be granted only if the student can prove by preponderance of evidence that a decision was arbitrary, discriminatory, or inequitable.
The appeal must be submitted within 10 business days of the beginning of the academic term (fall, spring, or the 7-week summer term) that follows the term in which the final grade was submitted by the instructor.
For help addressing an issue regarding submitting a final grade appeal, email Rene Mondy at rmondy@gsu.edu.
