Appealing a gradeGrades can be appealed after first discussing the situation with the instructor(s) involved in the decision. If a resolution is not reached, a student shall submit a written request indicating particular conditions to the department chairperson. A full description of what the request must include and a timeline of the process can be found in the General Catalog. If you have further questions and/or would like assistance in filing a grade appeal, contact Shay Bright at 491-7165.
Academic dishonestyAcademic dishonesty undermines the educational experience at CSU, lowers morale by engendering a skeptical attitude about the quality of education, and negatively affects the relationship between students and instructors. Examples of academic dishonesty include: cheating, plagiarism, unauthorized possession or disposition of academic materials, falsification, and facilitation of academic dishonesty for others.
A specific process should be followed if an instructor suspects that a student has engaged in an act of academic dishonesty. This process is included in the General Catalog as well as a thorough description of the types of academic dishonesty.
More information on this topic is available in the Academic Integrity section of this website.
