Any student enrolled in a Rutgers School of Public Health course is eligible to report a grievance about a course grade or a grade received for a particular piece of work in a course and advocate for an improved grade. Prior to formally appealing a grade, the student should attempt to resolve the matter through discussion with the instructor.

Should a grade complaint not be satisfactorily resolved between student and course instructor, the student must submit a formal written appeal of the grade to the assistant dean for student experiences and alumni affairs. A formal written complaint about a grade of work completed while the course is in progress must be submitted no later than two (2) weeks after notification of the grade. A formal written complaint about a final course grade must be submitted no later than two (2) weeks after grades are due for that semester.

A letter noting the outcome of the decision shall be sent via email to the student, course instructor, department chair/concentration director, and academic adviser. A copy of the decision shall also be held in the student's record. Should an appeal be granted, the Registrar shall update the grade on the student's transcript.
