Academic Appeals
Disputes regarding course grades and class policies should be discussed with the appropriate instructor. If the instructor does not resolve the matter, students should discuss the problem with the appropriate department chair. If the matter is still unresolved or if the instructor is the department chair, the student should discuss the problem with the dean of the appropriate school.
If the matter still remains unresolved, the student may send a written letter of appeal to the Discipline and Appeals Committee at academicappeals@rc.edu within one semester of the incident or grade report. The written appeal should include all supporting documentation. The decision of the Discipline and Appeals Committee is final.
