Grade
Grievance Procedure--Field
1. A
grade grievance may be initiated by the student notifying his or her adviser and
by submitting a letter outlining a basis of the grievance to the associate director of field education within two weeks of notification or posting of the
grade. The associate director of field education will render a decision in writing whether or not to uphold the grade
within two weeks of receipt of the grievance letter.
2. If
the outcome of step 1 is not satisfactory to all involved parties, the student
may appeal in writing to the executive director of field education. This appeal must be communicated in writing
no later than one week after the student has received the letter from the associate director of field education. Within one week of receipt of this letter, the executive director will
render a decision as to whether or not to uphold the grade.
3. If
the outcome of step 2 is not satisfactory to all involved parties within one
week of the determination of the program or the director of the B.A.S.W.
program, the program director will make
a determination as to whether to uphold the grade within two weeks of receipt
of the grievance letter. The program director's decision is final and binding.
It is in the interest of all involved parties to
resolve such situations as expeditiously as possible.
