Grading Grievances
A student may challenge the nature, quality, or fairness of an examination or other graded exercise for a particular course, rather than their particular grade on that examination or exercise. Instructors are expected to be scrupulously careful in constructing the exam, choosing grading criteria and applying those criteria, but there is no appeal from a grade on the allegation either that the grader misapplied the criteria for grading the exam, or that the criteria were themselves ill-chosen.
After a grade has been submitted, the instructor may only change the grade if it is a result of "an error in computation[] or an error in transcription."
For more information about grading grievances, see Law School Rule 2.11. To file a grading grievance, contact the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
