Years 3 and 4 Grade/MSPE Appeal Request Form

If a student believes that they have been awarded a final grade for a course* that does not adequately represent their performance in the course*, the student may appeal the grade under the procedures described in the Student Progress Committee Procedures and Process for Dismissal Policy (link when approved). Per policy, appeal requests must be submitted within 10 working days of receipt of the final grade form.

Upon course* completion, the student should have no further communication with the clinical site faculty regarding the assigned grade. Students should not request any involvement from a third-party in the grading decision. Should a student fail to abide by this they may be issued a Level 1 under the domain of Professionalism.

Course* = Any component of the curriculum where a grade is earned.

Appeal of overall grade

Please describe the nature of your appeal. Note that a single example of exceeding expectations would not typically be considered sufficient to justify an overall summative grade of exceeding expectations. *

Please describe the nature of your clinical grade appeal. Please organize your appeal by specific Educational Program Objective (EPO), stating both what you were assigned on the EPO and what you feel it should have been. Each EPO being challenged should be organized into its own section (e.g., paragraph, bullet point). In your supporting narrative, please justify each EPO appeal by describing a pattern of consistent performance to justify your claim. You may want to focus on the behavioral anchors associated with each EPO to guide your narrative response. Please note that a single example of exceeding expectations would not typically be considered sufficient to justify an overall summative grade of exceeding expectations. * 🛈

Please list the full names of individuals who you feel are best poised to substantiate your appeal. Please include contact information (phone numbers, emails) when possible. If appealing the mathematical calculation only, put "N/A". * 🛈
