Rights
and Responsibilities of Students
In
the event of an interpersonal conflict or an academic dispute
with an instructor, whether over a grade, course policy, or
class conduct, students have the right of appeal to a member
of the administration. Places
to Seek Recourse Many concerns can be resolved by making
an appointment and talking with the instructor about the nature
of the problem. In cases where this method has proved ineffective
or seems impossible or inappropriate for the student to attempt,
the following steps may be taken:
-
Consultation with one's faculty advisor.
- Consultation
with a trusted faculty member or administrator.
- Consultation
with the department chair, if this person is not the instructor
in question. (Identity of the department chair may be obtained
from the departmental secretary.)
- Consultation
with the divisional chair, if this person is not the instructor
in question. (Identity of the division chair may be obtained
from the departmental secretary.)
- Consultation
with the appropriate administrative authorities:
- For
questions of an academic nature that cannot be reasonably
settled in the manner suggested above, consult or submit
a written complaint to the Associate Provost, 2nd floor
Mandelle Hall, phone 337-7162.
- As
a reminder, cases of possible sexual harassment should
be discussed with Sarah Westfall, Dean of Students,
Student Development, phone 337-7209, or Mary Ellen Ashcroft,
College Chaplain, phone 337-7362. Consult Social Policies
and Regulations/Improper Sexual Conduct Policy for the
