Academic Appeals


The faculty of each of the schools or Division defines the degree requirements, academic standards, and rules for students enrolled in the school and has jurisdiction over the courses offered by the school. Each of the schools and Divisions has a Committee on Course and Standing charged with overseeing special cases and appeals from graduate students. Students have the right to appeal any decision to the appropriate Committee on Course and Standing, which is the final authority on enforcement of curriculum, degree requirements, academic standards, grades and academic rules. For more information, students should see their divisional Dean’s office. Students may also contact the appropriate contact person(s) on list below for further guidance on the academic appeal process.

It should be noted that most academic rules are enforced without exception. Generally, the committee will consider requests for deviations from the rules only when the deviation is within the spirit, if not the letter, of the rule.
