Academic Grievance

Any student who believes they have been treated unfairly in academic matters should consult with the chairperson of the undergraduate department or the undergraduate associate dean to discuss the situation and to obtain information about relevant grievance procedures.

In the event that the grievance concerns treatment or evaluation in a practicum, a student should follow this same procedure, discussing the matter first with their field supervisor. If this discussion does not lead to resolution, the matter should be brought to the appropriate Director of Field Placements.

Procedure of Appeal

A student should always attempt to resolve problems concerning grading matters or the academic practices of an instructor by directly contacting the instructor. In the rare case of an unresolved question, the student should bring the matter to the chairperson or director of the relevant department or program.

A formal appeal of a course grade, which ought not be entered lightly by a student nor lightly dismissed by an instructor, should be made no later than the sixth week of the following semester. In making a formal appeal, students should file a written statement to the departmental chairperson. The decision of the chairperson is final.

Good Standing

Students must complete 120 credits to earn the bachelor's degree. To continue enrollment in a full-time program of study, a student must maintain a cumulative average of at least 1.667 as the minimum standard of scholarship. Students also must not fall more than 6 credits behind the total number of credits a student of their status is expected to have completed (15 credits each semester in each of first, sophomore, junior, and senior years).

Any student who is permitted by the dean to continue enrollment in a full-time undergraduate program is considered to be in good standing.

Academic Dismissal

At the end of each semester, students who do not meet the academic standards of the Lynch School of Education and Human Development may be placed on academic probation or be subject to dismissal. Possible grounds for academic probation or academic dismissal include the following:

• Passing fewer than three courses (or 9 credits) in a semester
• Passing fewer than eight courses (or 24 credits) in an academic year (except senior year)
• Passing fewer than 18 courses (or 54 credits) by the end of sophomore year
• Passing fewer than 28 courses (or 84 credits) by the end of junior year
• A cumulative grade point average of below 1.667

Students with any combination of 7 withdrawals and/or failures may be permanently dismissed.聽

A student on probation may return to good standing through approved methods (e.g., make-up of credits via approved summer school work; students may make up no more than 12 credits in summer study). A student who incurs additional failures or withdrawals or carries an unapproved underload while on probation may be required to withdraw from the school at the time of the next review.

A student who has been dismissed from the Lynch School may be eligible to apply for readmission. To be eligible for return, a student must fulfill the conditions specified in the letter of dismissal from the LSHED Office of Undergraduate Programs. This will ordinarily include the reduction of deficiencies and the attainment of a minimum grade point average. A student who fails to fulfill the specified conditions will not be allowed to return to the Lynch School. It is at the discretion of the associate dean of undergraduate programs and students whether to allow readmission.

Students may be reinstated only once after a dismissal. A student who receives a subsequent dismissal may not be reinstated.

Elementary and secondary education majors and minors are required to meet guidelines outlined in the Academic Catalog.
