Appeal of Final Grade Form
Students interested in appealing a final grade should consult the Appeal of Final Grade procedure 4.403.
Elgin Community College recognizes faculty have the right and responsibility to assess student performance and
assign grades. However, in certain, limited cases a student has the right to appeal a final grade. Final grades
assigned for violation of the Administrative Procedure 4.407 may not use this process and should refer to
Administrative Procedure 4.407.
The student must contact the faculty member within ten days from when the final class grade is due (Registrar’s
deadline for final grades) with a written request via email to their elgin.edu account for a review/accounting of the
grade (Students in short-term classes that end before the scheduled end of the semester are encouraged to check their
grades on-line within ten days of the end of the course). Students should send this form using their student.elgin.edu
email account.
