Complaints Against Faculty (non-harassment) & Grade Appeals
Delaware County Community College is committed to assisting students with the resolution of issues and concerns in an effort to foster respect across the College and support retention. If you have an issue in a course (e.g., grade appeal and concern about an instructor) that you are unable to resolve, please complete this form with as much detail as possible. While we cannot guarantee a specific outcome, we can assist you in better navigating what can be a complex system. Use the academic division of the class, NOT your major. Please see this list if you are unsure.
Grade Appeals Procedures
A student who is dissatisfied with a grade should first discuss the situation with the course instructor. If the student is not satisfied with the instructor’s reason for awarding a certain grade, the student may appeal to that instructor’s dean. Grade appeals not resolved with the course instructor must be submitted in writing to the appropriate dean within one year of receiving the grade.
The appropriate dean will examine the facts and make a decision.
Students may appeal the decision of the dean by submitting a written appeal to the Vice President of Academic Affairs. The Vice President of Academic Affairs will study the facts and make a decision, with notification of the decision. The Vice President of Academic Affairs decision is final.
The following chart summarizes the appeal process:
Grade Appeals Chain
| Contact | Form of Appeal | Decision Period |
| 1. Instructor | Verbal | Immediate |
| 2. Dean | Written | 10 Days |
| 3. Vice President of Academic Affairs | Written | 10 Days |
