Any grade which you believe to be in error should be appealed, first to the instructor,
then to the appropriate department chair, and finally to the appropriate dean. If
an appeal is not made within one calendar year after the close of the semester in
which the grade was received, the grade will be considered final and no appeal will
be heard.
See the catalog for a detailed explanation of the UHD grading system.
