Student Academic Grievances
For any academic grievance other than a grade dispute, the School of Design adheres to the procedures for the procedures for graduate student academic grievances stated in the Handbook of Operating Procedures.
Grade Disputes and Grievance Procedures
Every effort should be made to resolve grade disputes and other grievances informally between the student and the faculty member most directly involved. Such efforts failing, the order of review within the M.A. in Design Program is the following:
- Course instructor
- Faculty Director
- Graduate Advisor
- Design Department Chair
- School of Design and Creative Technologies Assistant Dean. The decision of the dean is final.
When serious issues cannot be resolved informally, the graduate student may have recourse through the formal grievance procedure that can be found in the General Information Catalog. It should be noted that the precise procedure to be followed in adjudicating a given grievance would depend on the particular circumstances surrounding the case.
