College of Commerce Grade Challenge Form The College of Commerce participates in the University program, which permits students to challenge grades that they have received in individual courses. The details of the grade challenge procedure are described in the DePaul University Student Handbook. In making a grade challenge, a student should be aware that the basis on which the Grade Challenge Committee can authorize a grade change is specifically described in the Handbook. The committee has no additional authority. A student should carefully decide whether his or her challenge meets the criteria for a grade challenge before beginning the process. No one benefits from a challenge that has to be denied because it falls outside the purview of the Committee. Students should also be aware that the Grade Challenge Committee is not an appropriate vehicle for general complaints about a course. To register a complaint, a student can: Discuss his/her concern with the instructor; Discuss the matter with the appropriate department Chair; Discuss the matter with a counselor in the Undergraduate or Graduate office; or Write a letter describing the concern to the Dean. While this form of protest will not result in a grade change, please be assured that it will be taken into account in College decision-making.
