Appeals of Grades and other Academic Actions

If a student believes that an academic action is arbitrary or capricious he/she should discuss the action with the involved faculty member and attempt to resolve.  If unable to resolve, the student may appeal the action in accordance with the following procedure:

  1. Appeal to Department Chair who should be notified in writing within 40 working days; chair must notify student of a decision with 15 days.  If faculty member or student disagrees with decision, then,
  2. Appeal to Academic Appeals Committee (see flyers posted in MEB and EMCB for members of committee).  See II Section D, Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities for details on Academic Appeals Committee hearings.

Assignment Late Policy

No late work is accepted. 

Individual Work

The purpose of the assignments is to improve your skills at solving problems and demonstrating that you understand the class material. Collaboration with other class members is acceptable in understanding problems or software tools. For any individual assignments or work turned in, you must do your own work. Using someone else's work or giving someone else your work is considered plagiarism and will be dealt with using standard College and University procedures (i.e., failure of assignment and class). The SoC policy states: "As defined in the University Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, cheating, misrepresenting one's work, inappropriately collaborating, plagiarism, and fabrication or falsification of information. It also includes facilitating academic misconduct by intentionally helping or attempting to help another student to commit an act of academic misconduct. A primary example of academic misconduct would be submitting as one's own, work that is copied from an outside source." (See cheating_policy.pdf and SoC_ack_form.pdf in Link to Class Info and Docs.)
