 Grade Appeal

The Graziadio School provides a multi-level process by which students may dispute a grade assigned by a course instructor in the event that there are sufficient grounds for doing so.  A grade appeal may pertain to either the final course grade or a specific assignment, project, or exam within a course. In either case, students have up to 30 calendar days from the date the grade was assigned to initiate the appeal process. Grade appeals should be emailed directly to your advisor. 

Access the Grade Appeal Guidelines here.

 Leave of Absence

Students who wish to take a leave of absence will need to submit a request form that will be routed to the Program Office for review. A leave may be taken for up to two consecutive terms. If the leave of absence exceeds two consecutive terms, students will be withdrawn from the program and will need to complete a status reactivation application to resume their course of study. Students have seven years to complete their degree program from their initial term of admission.
