Total Attempts – All Courses Florida State Board of Education Administrative Rules, Chapter 6A-14.0301, limits the number of times a student may attempt a course. An attempt is defined as student enrollment after the 100 percent refund deadline. A student may have only three attempts per course, including the original grade, repeat grades, withdrawals, and audits declared after the end of the drop/add period. A fourth attempt may be allowed only through a successful petition to the Academic Standards Committee based on major extenuating circumstances. The total attempts limitation, however, does not apply to repeatable courses that have been successfully completed and are now being repeated for further skill enhancement; or to courses that are required to be repeated by a regulatory agency; or are being repeated as part of a regulatory requirement for continuing education to stay current in a field, such as teacher certification. Forgiveness In accordance with Florida State Board of Education Administrative Rules, Chapter 6A- 14.0301, a student who has completed a course and desires to improve their grade for that course may repeat the course only if he/she has earned a D or F grade. The number of repeat attempts is limited to two per course. Repetition of a course removes the previous grade from the student’s record only for the purpose of calculating GPA. The original grade remains on the transcript, but only the grade earned in the last attempt is used for calculating the degree GPA. The State’s Articulation Agreement does not allow courses to be repeated for the purpose of changing a student’s GPA after the associate degree has been awarded. Violation of Policy All violations of this policy are to be referred to the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to, and including termination. • For non-represented employees, action will be taken pursuant to the terms and conditions of the relevant employment contract, if applicable. • For full-time faculty, refer to the Collective Bargaining Agreement between The Board of Trustees of Broward College and United Faculty of Florida, Broward College Chapter. Definitions Academic Dishonesty: Includes any type of cheating that occurs in relation to course and/or program activities. Academic Dishonesty may include, among other things, plagiarism, falsification, deception, as well as giving or receiving assistance on a formal academic exercise. GPA – The average grade earned by a student, calculated by dividing the grade points earned by the number of credits attempted. Grades and Grade Appeals Procedure Broward College Procedure 4.19 The Grade Appeal Procedures apply to appeals of 1) the final course grade and 2) appeals related to academic dishonesty. For concerns not directly related to academic dishonesty or the final course grade as defined in the faculty member’s syllabus, the student should review and follow the Broward College Student Complaint Process www.broward.edu 63
(A6Hx2-5.23) in the College’s Policy and Procedure Manual. For appeals to the final course grade, the purpose of this procedure is to determine if the final course grade awarded to the student is consistent with the course syllabus as transmitted to the student in accordance with institutional policies (e.g. 6Hx2-4.18 and 6Hx2-4.19) and state rules/statutes. The Grade Appeal for Academic Dishonesty Process applies to assignment grades as well as final course grades, and it will determine if the student has violated the rules of academic honesty. The students, faculty, administration and staff at Broward College value academic honesty as the foundation of the teaching and learning process and are committed to cultivating an environment whereby personal and professional responsibility and accountability are central to all operations. Grade Appeal for Final Course Grades Step 1: Attempt to Resolve with the Faculty Member (By second week of subsequent term) A student may appeal a final course grade only if the grade given was not in accordance with the grading policy outlined in the course syllabus. If the student wishes to appeal the grade, he or she must meet or communicate no later than the second week of the next term with the faculty member in an attempt to settle the disputed grade and avoid the formal Grade Appeal Process. If the student prefers, the Associate Dean may arrange the meeting between the student and the faculty member. Either the faculty member or the student may request the Associate Dean or other college official to be present. Should the faculty member no longer be employed by the College and/or be unreachable or unavailable when the student files a grade appeal, the student may initiate this process with the Associate Dean. If the resolution results in a grade change, the faculty member shall initiate said change no later than five duty days after the meeting. Should the faculty member no longer be employed by the College, the Associate Dean will request the change of grade be made by the College Registrar’s office. Step 2: Begin Grade Appeal Process (No later than third week of subsequent term) If the student has not resolved the grade issue after consulting with the faculty member and/or Associate Dean, the student may begin the formal Grade Appeal Process no later than the third week of the next term. The process begins with the student submitting the Grade Appeal Request Package to the faculty member via the Associate Dean. In the absence of documented extenuating circumstances, failure to complete the Grade Appeal Request Package in the designated time period will end the student’s right to appeal. At any step in the Grade Appeal Process, if the student and the faculty member can resolve the issue, the Appeal Process is concluded. Deviations from the time frames stipulated in the formal Grade Appeal Process must be agreed to by both the student and the faculty member. Adjunct faculty may request the assistance of a full-time faculty mentor during the appeal process. Step 3: Submission of Documents The student will obtain a Grade Appeal Request Package from the Associate Dean. As part of completing this package, the student must include documentation for those issues related to the final course grade. All pertinent forms, paperwork, and evidence to be considered in the appeal must be attached by the student. Once a Grade Appeal 64 Broward College
