- Step 2: Disputes unresolved at this level are referred in writing, within two (2) weeks of the decision by the faculty/instructor, with supporting documentation and copies of relevant communication to the appropriate area head.
- Step 3: Disputes unresolved at this level should be directed in, writing with supporting documentation and copies of relevant communication, to the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs or the Program Director within two (2) weeks of the decision from the area head.
Student appeals must follow the same process as above.
