- Students who would like to dispute their final grade should first contact and discuss their concerns with the instructor of that course. If a satisfactory resolution is unattainable, the student may file a grade appeal.
- Students must submit their grade appeal within two business days from the final grade posting date (typically the Tuesday after finals week). Failure to check grades until a later date is not an acceptable reason to delay the grade appeal process.
- Appeals must be submitted to academic.affairs@digipen.edu. Appeals will be reviewed by the Dean of Faculty (or designee).
- To be considered for an appeal the student must explain, in writing, any procedural error or omission that impacted their academic performance during the course such as substantiated bias or material deviation from established procedures.
- The student’s appeal will be reviewed by the Dean of Faculty (or designee) and a decision and response will be sent to the student’s DigiPen email account within three business days of the date the appeal was received.
- If the appeal is granted, the student’s course grade will be updated. If the appeal is denied, the student’s course grade will remain unchanged. The decision may also be remanded to the course instructor with additional direction.
