Academic Appeals

Disputes regarding course grades and class policies should be discussed with the appropriate instructor. If the instructor does not resolve the matter, the student should discuss the problem with the first level of academic administration (Department Chair or Director). If the matter is still unresolved, the student should discuss the problem with the next level(s) of academic administration (Director and/or Dean).

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.

Disputes regarding institutional academic policies such as attendance and withdrawals should be submitted in writing 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.
