Academic Appeals
Each Student and Faculty Advisor should be familiar with the Academic Policies of Saint Augustine's College. Students and faculty advisors are encouraged to consult regularly with the Saint Augustine's College Catalog and with Department Chairs and Division Deans.
The Academic Appeal Process requires that a student first discuss the academic dispute with the faculty member who accused the student, or assigned the grade, or initiated the penalty, or with whom the dispute first surfaced. If the dispute is not resolved in conversation(s) with the faculty member, the student shall next address the matter with the head of the department in which the course is taught. If the matter is still in dispute following the investigation and determination by the Department Chair, the student has a right to appeal to the Chairperson of the Division in which the dispute arose. In cases where the recommended penalty is the student be suspended or expelled, or where the student's degree or certification is revoked, students may appeal in writing to the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs/Provost.
Specifically in cases involving allegations of academic dishonesty students shall be provided with: (1) adequate notice of any offense with which they are charged; and, (2) an opportunity to be heard by the Chairperson of the Division in which the offense is alleged to have occurred.
