Dean’s List Each semester, the colleges recognize the top ten percent of their students by naming them in the Dean’s List. To qualify, you must have achieved a semester grade-point average of 3.6 or above in the previous semester. In that semester, you must have completed 15 or more credits that counts towards your GPA with no “Withdrawals” (W) or “Incompletes” (I). Dean’s List recipients receive a certificate from their college recognizing their academic achievement. Zayed Scholars Each semester, students with strong academic skills are recognized as Zayed scholars. To qualify to be a Zayed Scholar, you must have achieved a semester-grade point average of 3.8 or above in the previous semester. In that semester, you must have completed 15 or more credits that counts towards your GPA with no “Withdrawals” (W) or “Incompletes” (I). The Zayed Scholars recipients receive a certificate recognizing their outstanding academic achievement, have this distinction added to their academic transcripts and also enjoy other privileges. To remain a Zayed Scholar, you must maintain a 3.8 grade point average each semester. ACADEMIC APPEALS You can only appeal a grade if you can demonstrate a valid reason for appeal. There must have been a substantial error of fact (such as recording the wrong grade or miscalculating grades), or demonstrable and substantial inequity in grading in the class, or a medical, family or personal emergency which has substantially affected your academic performance. All appeals must be in writing with appropriate documentation if available. Zayed University Student Handbook 2012 - 2013 23
ACADEMIC INFORMATION Appeals in the ABP The first step in appealing your grade is to talk to your instructor. If you are not satisfied with the results of the conversation, submit a written appeal to the Assistant Director of the Academic Bridge Program within five class days of receipt of your grade. The Assistant Director and Director will review your appeal and make a final determination of the grade. Appeals in the Baccalaureate Program: Appeal of a Course Grade For your appeal to succeed, you must demonstrate that there was substantial error in calculating your grade or demonstrable and substantial inequity in grading in the class. The first step is to talk to your instructor within seven days of notification of the grade. In the case of a final course grade, the deadline is five class days after the following term or semester. If you are not satisfied with the results of the conversation, you must submit a letter within seven days to the assistant dean of the college in which the course is taught. The letter must detail justification for the appeal (error in calculating etc.). The assistant dean will review the appeal and make the final determination of the grade. Any retroactive grade appeal should be approved the Provost or Provost’s designee. Appeals in the Baccalaureate Program: Appeal of Academic Dismissal If you are eligible for dismissal for unsatisfactory academic progress, you may appeal your dismissal in writing to the Office of Student Life no later than five days after the start of the next term or semester.
