Right of Appeal
Students have the right to appeal outcomes imposed by implementation of College policies. All appeals must be in writing and must be submitted to the respective CSI official(s). Appropriate documentation of extenuating circumstances will be required and the timeliness of the appeal will also be considered.
Enrollment Appeal
Students requesting to add, drop, or withdraw after the deadline must submit an Enrollment Appeal to the Office of the Registrar. This includes students who were legitimately dropped for no show by faculty. The Enrollment Appeal form can be found at https://www.csi.edu/_files/pdf/registrar/enrollment-appeal.pdf.
To be considered the appeal must demonstrate, with supporting evidence, an extenuating circumstance which prevented the student from meeting the deadline. Enrollment Appeals for dropping or withdrawing after the deadline, may have financial implications if approved.
Student appeals without an extenuating circumstance, lacking supporting evidence, or where the faculty member believes the student would not be successful will be denied.
Grade Appeal
A student may appeal a final grade that he/she feels is incorrect or unfair through the grade appeal process. The policy, procedures, and forms are available from the Office of the Registrar web site: https://www.csi.edu/registrar/.
NOTE: The grade appeal process must be started, and the paperwork formally submitted to the instructor, no later than five business days after grades have been posted.
