Grade Appeal Procedures
Final Grade Appeals must be made within three months after the semester the grade was assigned.
STEP 1. If a student receives a final grade and desires to clarify questions about a grade, program standard, or grading practice, the student should first discuss the concern with their instructor and have supporting documentation (e.g., tests, assignments, and quizzes).
STEP 2. When an agreement is not reached at step one and a student wishes to appeal the decision of an instructor, the student has ten business days to submit a written appeal via the Student Concern Tracking Form to the Academic Division Dean’s Office. The student’s appeal must be signed and dated to be accepted. The Dean must respond within ten business days upon receiving the appeal and Student Concern Tracking Form. The form is available at https://atlantatech.edu/student-concerns-grievances/.
STEP 3. If an agreement is not reached in the previous steps and a student wishes to appeal the decision of the Academic Division Dean, the student has ten business days from the decision to submit copies of the original appeal and Student Concern Tracking Form to the Office of the Executive Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs. The EVP of Academic and Student Affairs will review and respond to the appeal within ten business days. The decision of the Executive Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs is final.
