Dr. Pallavi Patel School of Health Sciences (PSHS) 2025–2026 203 Disciplinary Expulsion (may also be used to indicate issues related to unprofessional behavior) Readmitted Reinstated Grade Disputes The responsibility for course examinations, assignments, and grades resides with the expertise of faculty members who are uniquely qualified by their training and experience. Such evaluations and grades are the prerogative of the instructor and are not subject to formal appeal unless there is compelling evidence of discrimination, arbitrary or capricious action, and/or procedural irregularities. Grievances and grade disputes must be in writing and directed to the course instructor within five business days of the grade given or prior to any retest, whichever occurs sooner. If unresolved, the dispute may be forwarded to the program director or department chair or designee of the chair within five business days of receiving the notification of the course instructor’s decision. Failure to submit a timely appeal will be considered a waiver of the student’s grade dispute appeal rights. The appeal to the program director, department chair, or designee is the final appeal for all grade disputes. Student Evaluation of Courses and Faculty Members All courses and course instructors are subject to evaluation each time the course is offered, except courses of an individual or independent study nature (e.g., independent study courses, special research projects, theses, etc.). Students shall complete course and instructor evaluations. Academic Standing Transcripts Each student’s academic achievement is reviewed each semester.
