Grade Grievance:
By law, the instructor is solely responsible for grades assigned; no instructor may be directed to change a grade except in certain circumstances authorized by the California Education Code, Section 76224 (a).
When you believe that the district grading policy has not been followed and/or your faculty member has made an error in your grading, you should seek an informal resolution.
Process for an informal resolution
- Step 1 - Discuss your concern with the appropriate course instructor.
- Step 2 - After discussing your concern with the appropriate course instructor, you may opt to meet with Dr. Flanigan, Division Dean for Social and Behavioral Science. Prior to scheduling a meeting with Dr. Flanigan, you must complete the Student Grade Concern form and attach to this form with any supporting information and documentation to substantiate your grade concern. Once your written documentation is submitted and received by Dr. Flanigan, a meeting with you and Dr. Flanigan will be scheduled. This must be done no later than 45 days after you knew or should have known the grade in the course.

- Step 3 - If you are unable to resolve your grade concern on the informal level as outlined above, you may elect to pursue a formal grade grievance pursuant Board Policy 5505. This must be done no later than 45 days after you knew or should have known the grade in the course. To initiate the formal grade grievance process, complete the Statement of Grievance and submit it to Dr. Flanigan for processing. Form: Statement of Grievance
