Nursing Academic Appeals Procedure

1.  A student who has an academic problem/complaint should discuss the problem with the course Faculty member. The student should always strive initially to resolve the dispute with the course Faculty member.

2.  If the matter cannot be satisfactorily resolved with the Faculty member, the student may file an appeal in writing to the MSN Program Director. If the matter remains unresolved, the student must file a written appeal to the Dean of the School of Nursing and Health Professions. Thereafter, the Dean will attempt to mediate the problem.

3.  In the event that the problem is still unresolved, mediation from the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs may be sought. See the Cumberland University Catalog for details.
