Grade appeals Information and detailed instructions on student appeals may be found on UGA's Academic Honesty web page. Any student who wishes to appeal their grade in a course must first contact the instructor who assigned the grade and notify them of an intent to appeal. If the instructor will not change the grade, the student should direct their appeal to the History Department's Director of Undergraduate Studies. The appeal should describe the reasons why the student feels the grade was unfair and include any supporting evidence. The Director of Undergraduate Studies will then forward the appeal and evidence to the instructor, who will have an opportunity to respond and provide their own evidence. Both the appeal and response (including all supporting evidence) will then be forwarded to the Undergraduate Studies Committee, which will render a final decision. If the matter is not resolved to the student's satisfaction at the departmental level, the student has the right to file an appeal with the Academic Standards Committee of the Franklin College Senate. If the the matter is not resolved to the student's satisfaction at the college level, the student has the right to file an appeal with the Educational Affairs Petitions Committee of the University Council. Appeals will follow the Hearing Procedures described in Section 4.05-02 of the General Academic Policy: Student Appeals.
