If a student does not understand a grade they received, they should ask to meet with the professor to review the assignment. After meeting with the professor, if a student believes that they were not treated or graded fairly, they should arrange a meeting with the School Director to discuss the situation. All students have the right to appeal any grade they were awarded and can begin the process by first meeting with the professor of the course and then with the Chair of the Department.
