国教院的同学们：

你们在考试后一个月内都可以对教授给出的成绩提出申诉，这是你们的权利，但希望你们做到有理有据。以下是程序，请仔细阅读后再决定如何申诉。

STEP 1. The student should meet with the course instructor and request an explanation of the basis for the grade. If this explanation is unsatisfactory to the student for any reason, the student should proceed to step two if the course instructor is not the chair of the department or to step six if the course instructor is the chair.

第一步：学生首先约见教授，请他解释成绩给出的依据。如果学生对其解释不满意，可走第二步，即向系主任投诉。如果系主任是你的授课教师，你直接走第6步，即向教务长投诉。

STEP 2. The student should contact the chair of the department and explain the questions and issues concerning the course instructor’s assigned grade. The student should explain any and all information relevant to the questions at hand. The chair will then discuss the matter with the instructor. The desired outcome of this stage of the process is agreement between student and instructor. The chair will not decide upon an appropriate grade at this point. If these discussions with the student and instructor do not produce a resolution satisfactory to the student, the student has the option of continuing the appeal process with step three.

第二步：学生应联系系主任，向他解释教授所给成绩存在的问题。学生需要解释任何手头和成绩问题有关的细节。系主任会与教授讨论。这一步理想的结果是学生和教授达成协议，不需要系主任给出合适的成绩。如果学生对协调结果不满意，可以采取第三步。

STEP 3. The student will prepare a formal, written complaint concerning the assignment of a grade, addressing the complaint to the chair of the department. The chair will proceed with step four.

第三步：学生要写一封正式的书面投诉信发给系主任，说明不公正之处。系主任走第4步。

STEP 4. The chair of the department will constitute a Philosophy Department Appeals Committee and refer the student’s formal appeal to the committee. This committee will consist of three faculty members, including as many as possible from within the philosophy department. The committee will not include either the chair of the department or the instructor in question. The Philosophy Department Appeals Committee will make a recommendation to the chair.

第四步：系主任会在哲学系成立申诉委员会提交把学生申诉。委员会由3个教授组成，也会有哲学系的教师参加，但系主任和任课教师都不在委员会之列。委员会最后向系主任提出解决问题的建议。

STEP 5. The chair of the department will decide to accept or reject the recommendation of the Philosophy Department Appeals Committee and will communicate his or her decision in writing to the student within one week of receiving the committee’s recommendation. If the student is not satisfied with the chair’s decision, the student has the option of continuing the appeal process with step six.

第五步：系主任决定接受或否决哲学系申诉委员会的建议，并在一周内给学生写书面材料告知自己的决定。学生如果对此决定（所给成绩）依然不满，可以走第6步。

STEP 6. The student may appeal the assigned grade to the Provost. This appeal will be conducted according to the procedures the Provost has established. The department chair will notify the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences in writing that the student is appealing the decision to the Provost.

第6步：学生向教务长提出书面申诉，申诉程序由教务长来定。系主任会书面通知文理学院院长学生对哲学委员会的决定不满并已向教务长提出申诉。
