学术 Grievance Policy

学术投诉是指学生可能对教师在某门课程的最终成绩中对他或她的学术表现的评估感到不满, OR a professor’s assessment of academic dishonesty.

The following procedure must be followed in filing a grievance:

1. 最后的成绩: Issues concerning individual assignments, 考试, and other graded work during the course may only be appealed to the professor; a student may not use this policy for appeal until a final grade has been assigned for the course. To appeal a final grade, the student must take the matter to the 教师 member, 以书面形式, and within the first 15 PBA work days of the grade being posted in my.agemboutique.com. Appeal via PBA e-mail 对应 will be considered a written appeal. The appropriate 迪安 must be copied on the written appeal.
2. 学术欺骗: To appeal an academic dishonesty judgment, the student must take the matter to the 教师 member, 以书面形式, within 5 working days of being notified of the judgment. Appeal via PBA e-mail 对应 will be considered a written appeal.
3. 教师将在学生书面投诉后的15个PBA工作日内以书面形式回复学生. Response via PBA e-mail will be considered as a written response.
4. The student may appeal the case to the 迪安, by completing the appeal application and submitting it to the 迪安, only after written communication with the professor in resolving the complaint proves to be unsatisfactory to the student. This appeal to the 迪安 must be done within 15 PBA work days of the written response from the 教师 member. The written justification for the request must identify the issues, with all substantiating documents attached. 通过PBA电子邮件向院长提出申诉必须包括适当的附件，包括签署的申诉申请和所有证明文件. 院长将告知他或她对上诉申请的决定，并在15个工作天内以书面形式或通过PBA电子邮件将其返回给学生.
5. If the original appeal involves the 迪安 as the professor of record, the Provost will appoint another dean to review the appeal.
6. If, after the 迪安 has made the decision on the appeal, the student is not satisfied with the outcome, he or she may appeal to the Council of 迪安s through the Office of the Provost. The only justification for an appeal to the Council of 迪安s is a procedural violation. The student appeal must demonstrate which procedure was violated and how it was violated. A simple disagreement with the decision is not sufficient grounds for appeal. 此上诉申请必须在院长书面答复后15个PBA工作日内提交，并必须提交给教务长办公室. The appeal may be delivered in written form or via PBA e-mail. If the appeal is delivered via PBA e-mail, all substantiating 文档 must be attached to the e-mail.
7. 该上诉将由院长委员会的上诉委员会(由教务长从院长委员会成员中任命的三名成员组成，任期一年)审查，以确定案件的价值. If the Appeals Committee determines that the case is not sustainable on its merits, the decision is final and there is no further appeal. If the committee determines compelling evidence to proceed with the case, such an appeal can proceed in one of two ways. 第一个, the Appeals Committee may refer the matter back to the 迪安 with recommendations for 决议. 第二个, 上诉委员会可将有关事宜转介教务委员会在下一个公历月举行的定期会议上聆讯. The Administrative Assistant to the Provost will provide the student with the date of the Council of 迪安s meeting.
8. The Council must be supplied with the completed application for appeal, a written summary of the complaint, and all substantiating documents relating to the case, including the original appeal to the 迪安. The only evidence admissible is that which has previously been presented to the 迪安, with the exception of evidence related to procedural violation by the 迪安. 收到投诉的院长也将在预定上诉前的15个PBA工作日内，提供一份关于其结论和书面建议的书面摘要说明, along with any substantiating documents. 教务长行政助理负责收集这些材料，并在会议前提供给所有各方进行审查.
9. The student and the 教师 member will be allowed to present their cases to the Council. Communication with the Council during its deliberations is the responsibility of each party in the complaint. The presence of the student and of the 教师 member is only for fact-finding. 以这些陈述为基础的审议和案件的书面记录是严格保密的，只对安理会成员开放.
10. 作为投诉一方的教务长和委员会的任何成员，如果认为过去的经历或与个人的关系涉及偏见，对案件进行客观审查，可以回避最后决定.
11. As chair of the Council, 教务长将在十个工作日内将委员会的调查结果以书面形式通知学生和教师.

The Office of the Provost is responsible for enforcing the decision of the Council of 迪安s. The conclusions and recommendations of the Council are final and binding upon the parties to the complaint. No further appeal may ensue.
