Grade Appeal

If a student wishes to appeal a faculty  decision on a final grade the student must follow the UAF Grade Appeal process must submit a grade appeal form, available at the Office of the Registrar.

There are only two valid reasons for appeal of a grade:

  • (1) an error in calculation of the grade, or
  • (2) arbitrary and capricious grading.

Evidence of either must be documented for an appeal to be successful. Merely wanting a higher grade is not sufficient grounds to justify an appeal.
