How do I get my grade changed/appeal my grades?

Grade Changes and Appeals

Students have the right to appeal a grade as outlined in the KCTCS Code of Student Conduct.

Steps to Appeal a Grade

1. Speak with Your Instructor

• Begin by discussing your concerns directly with your instructor.
• This is the first and most important step in the process.

2. Escalate if Needed

If the issue is not resolved after speaking with your instructor:

• Contact the Department Dean or Division Chair for further assistance.

3. Continue the Review Process

• If further discussion is required, you may escalate the concern to the Provost.

Important Notes

• Follow the appeal process in order, starting with your instructor.
• If a grade change is approved at any point, the instructor will submit the change on your behalf.
