The grade is determined by the faculty member responsible for the course and is based upon factors related to achievement of the course objectives. The grade is considered final unless an appropriate appeal is filed by the student. For the student who is dissatisfied with a grade and has reason to believe the grade issued is incorrect, the following appeal procedure is provided by the College and the University. Steps 1 and 2 of the process are considered informal appeals and are designed to provide an avenue for resolution without a formal hearing. Stepi Within fourteen (14) days of the beginning of the following term, the student shall confer with the instructor who issued the grade and outline the reason/s why he or she believes the grade to be incorrect. (If the faculty member is unavailable, the student must contact the faculty member's chairperson within this same time period to request an extension of the time allowed for this step. Such permission must be obtained in writing.) Within seven (7) days of the student-faculty conference, the faculty member shall advise the student, in writing, of the outcome of the course grade review. Step 2 If the student still considers the grade to be incorrect, the student may appeal the grade at the department level. This appeal must be in writing, must follow the procedures outlined in the College's Grade Appeal Process document, and must be filed not later than seven (7) days from the date of the completion of step one. The College Grade Appeal Process document may be picked up from the department office or the office of the dean. Step 3 If, after completion of step 2, the student is still dissatisfied, the student should consult with the University's due process officer and may request that the case be reviewed by a Weber State University hearing committee.

The program is approved the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The program has a secondary mission of preparing post- baccalaureate students for an entry level teaching license in either elementary education, secondary education, or special education. The mission of this part of the program aligns with the Teacher Education Department's mission: We work within our communities to prepare caring, competent educators and to promote equitable, inclusive, and transformative education practices. Currently, the program is approved the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE); however, the Teacher Education Department and the MEd program are candidate members for accreditation through the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC). An initial program review is tentatively scheduled for fall, 2014. Weber State University 2014-2015 Catalog
