Grade Review, Petition, and Appeal Process

If you wish to review your final grade, please contact the Medical Student Program to set up a time to review your deidentified evaluations.   

If after the review you would like to submit a formal petition, the Grade Petition Form must be completed and received by the Medical Student Program within 4 weeks after your grade was posted.

Circumstances in which a petition is appropriate include:

  • An apparent mathematical error in computing your final grade.
  • A technical problem with the evaluation process.

Circumstances in which a petition is not appropriate:

  • Discrepancy between the feedback you received and the evaluation that was submitted.
  • Disagreement with our grading process (e.g. how the clinical grade is calculated and weighted).
  • Disagreement with an evaluator’s assessment of your performance.
  • Disagreement with final comments vs. final grade.
