University Complaints and Appeals

Student Disability Accommodation University Appeals Procedure

Eligible students should deliver notification letters to faculty at the beginning of each semester identifying the accommodations approved.  A student should notify Student Disability Services in writing within 2 business days of any disagreement between the student and the faculty member if agreed upon academic accommodations are not provided in order to seek a resolution. To submit accommodation-related concerns to SDS, email sds@kennesaw.edu and include your name, 食色视频 ID, and the nature of the issue. The student's assigned Disability Service Provider (DSP) will work with faculty members to ensure that they understand their obligations to provide students with appropriate accommodations in a timely manner.

Students who disagree with an eligibility or accommodation decision made by their DSP may appeal the decision. The appeal must be submitted to the Director of Student Disability Services, Paula Almond within twenty (20) business days of the date of the decision. Further appeals will proceed up the line of report in accordance with the University鈥檚 established practices.

Grade Appeals

食色视频 is committed to treating students fairly in the grading process. Students may appeal a final grade that they receive in a course, but interim grades or grades on specific assignments are not appealable.

The student has the burden of proving these allegations. 食色视频鈥檚 specific grade appeal procedures are detailed here:
