Reviews of student-relatedissues and/or grievances are conducted upon the student’s request.The Appeals and Exceptions Quality Team will review all informationprovided by the student, faculty, and staff.

Appeals and Exceptions RequestsThe following is a list of various valid reasons for requesting an appeal orexception:• Academic Bankruptcy/Renewal (removal of academic recordsfrom previous semesters). This procedure applies to BRCCtranscripts only, and only while the student remains at BRCC: allgrades remain on a student’s official transcript when transfer toanother institution occurs.• Academic Integrity Violation• Change of Grade• Expungement of Financial Record• Out-of-State Tuition Waiver• Readmit from Academic Suspension• Removal of Hold on Account• Tuition RefundStudent Grade AppealsAll grade appeals must be made within forty-five (45) days after theend of the semester in which the grade is received.If a student believes that he/she has been awarded an incorrect gradeor that a grade has been recorded in error, that student’s grade appealbegins with the instructor who reported the grade. If the appeal isnot re solved, the student can then contact the Department Chair first,followed by the Academic Dean of the Department. At each level, thestudent must provide the person hearing the griev ance with a writtenstatement that explains the nature of the grievance, lists pertinent facts,presents his/her views, and offers other support ing documentation.If the issue cannot be resolved with the instructor, Department Chair,or Dean, the student can make a final appeal to the Appeals andExceptions Quality Team.Academic Probation and SuspensionIn considering the requirements for academic standing, academicprobation, and suspension, the understanding of two concepts isvital: overall GPA, which is the GPA of a student’s total course hours, andsemester GPA, which is the GPA of a student’s courses taken during a givensemester.19
