Grade Grievance

If a student believes there was: 1) a procedural error in the calculation or recording of a grade, or 2) there is a concern that the grade was not fairly given., the first step to discuss the grade received with the instructor. The student must initiate this communication with the instructor within the first fifteen business days of the next full term after the grade is recorded.   

If the student and instructor are unable to resolve the grade issue and the student wishes to pursue a grade grievance, they should review the LSA Grade Grievance Procedures. The contact in “Step 2” would be pcas.grade.grievance@umich.edu for courses which COMPFOR is the home department.

Please note: Only the instructor of a course can change a student's grade. 

Student may reach out to pcas.grade.grevance@umich.edu if they have any questions about this process.
