COE Appeals – Grades

Any student, undergraduate or graduate, who believes that he or she received an incorrect or unfair grade due to factual error, improper or unprofessional bias, or evaluation different from the stated course objectives/criteria or other public criteria, may appeal the grade. Grades are appealed within the department and college in which they are earned, not in the department and college in which the student’s major resides. Exception: Grade appeals, when a grade of I (Incomplete) has lapsed to a grade of F, must go directly to the UGA Educational Affairs Committee.  Please note that all grade appeals must be initiated within one calendar year from the end of the term in which the grade was recorded.

Appeal route for undergraduates: 

  1. Instructor
  2. Department Head*
  3. COE Undergraduate Academic Appeals Committee*
  4. UGA Educational Affairs Committee*
  5. UGA President
Appeal route for graduates: 

  1. Instructor
  2. Department Head*
  3. Graduate School
  4. UGA Educational Affairs Committee*
  5. UGA President

*Prior to review at each of these levels, the faculty member who assigned the student’s final grade will receive a copy of the student’s letter of appeal and be given the opportunity to provide a response for those reviewing the appeal.
