Common use of Grading Clause in Contracts

Grading. Grading is the prerogative and responsibility of the instructor. Instructors must specify in writing, as part of the syllabus, the specific grading policies for the class. The assigned final grade must reflect the performance of the student in the course commensurate with the content and objectives of the course. If a student questions his or her grade, the instructor has a responsibility to discuss the matter with the student. If the instructor cannot satisfactorily resolve the matter, the student must be advised of the grading grievance procedures, see Section 17. Graded examinations, papers, and other sources of evaluation are to be available to the student for inspection and discussion. If the instructor chooses to retain these materials rather than return them to students, they must be kept for a period of one year. If graded materials become the property of the student, then uncollected materials must be kept for one semester. Non- tenure-track faculty covered by this contract should arrange for storage with the department in their absence. The grade records will be retained for at least one year to provide the opportunity for review and resolution of grade disputes.
