Student Codes and College Policies
All documents submitted concerning the grievance and all deliberations of the Grade Grievance Committee
shall be confidential and kept in a sealed file in the Office of the Executive Dean for a period of six years.
Each step in this process must be completed before going to the next level. The recommendations of
the Academic Chair, the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and the Grade Grievance Committee are only
advisory since the ultimate responsibility for awarding the grade is the instructor’s.
