Adler School of Professional Psychology Catalog 2008 – 2009

signifies neither credit nor a grade. Once an audited course is completed, it
cannot be changed to credit at a later time.
Grade Corrections
Once a grade has been recorded on the student transcript, additional work
cannot be submitted to change the grade. To change an incorrectly recorded
grade, students must file a written petition with the Registrar. The Registrar will
conduct a review of the circumstances and make a determination as to whether
the original grade should be changed.
Students, who may have disputes over certain grades or evaluative
comments made by a faculty member, may file an appeal and follow the
procedures of the Grade Appeal Policy, which is posted online at
www.adler.edu.
Only grades of “C” or lower can be appealed, and these may be appealed
only if a grading standard was not set or not followed by the instructor.
In addition, if a student is appealing a grade for a course that is a
prerequisite for a class, he or she cannot register for or attend subsequent
classes until the grade for the prerequisite has been resolved.
Grade changes or alterations to student records are not permitted after a
degree has been officially posted to the academic record.
Academic Standards
Students, whose grade point average falls below a “B” (3.0) or who have
received two grades of “C” or “I”, or a single grade of “NC”, “D”, or “F,” are not
in good academic standing and will be referred to the Student Comprehensive
Evaluation Committee or face immediate dismissal from the School. In case of
a referral to the Student Comprehensive Evaluation Committee, the Committee
will conduct a review of the student’s records, which may include a meeting
with the student, and make recommendations regarding the student’s standing.
Such recommendations may include, but are not limited to, a remediation plan
or dismissal from the School.
Only two grades of “C” and no grades of “D”, “F”, or “NC” may be counted
toward completion of degree requirements. A maximum of six (6) credit hours
may be repeated to remediate deficient grades and, thus, qualify for
graduation. Both the original course grade and the repeated course grade will
be calculated in the overall GPA, and both will appear on the transcript.
