At the end of a calendar year, student work not picked up can be discarded. If a student's grade is under appeal, the instructor should retain the classwork still in his or her possession and the grade book used for that course. Discarded student work should be shredded or otherwise altered so that the student's identity remains anonymous. In the event of extended absence from the community, faculty members should report the location of the grade book to their department head or dean. Adjuncts, retirees, and faculty leaving Ferris for other employment should leave their grade books with their department head or dean.
Students have one year to appeal a course grade.
After a year, grades cannot be changed.
