Policy:

A student may appeal the final grade received for a course.

If the department chair is unable to resolve the situation, the student should submit a written appeal to the appropriate administrator. This appeal must be received no later than 4:00 p.m. of the last day of regular classes of the next regular semester (fall or spring).

  • A written appeal of any career / technical course grade offered at a non-campus site should be submitted to the Dean of Career and Technical Education Programs or designee.
  • Students enrolled in an online course provided by Pearl River Community College should submit their grade appeal to the Office of eLearning. If the situation is not resolved by the Dean of eLearning the student may submit an appeal to the Senior Vice President for Instruction/Provost.
