division chair, the student may schedule an appointment with the Provost.
At any time during this process, the student may submit a letter of appeal to the Provost's Office that
provides the specific details and information needed to evaluate the matter. Appeals of grades will
be considered at the next Faculty Concerns Committee (FCC) meeting during the academic year. The
FCC does not meet during the summer or intersession, and the decision of the FCC is considered final
on behalf of the Seminary.
Course Taping Policy
Students must always request the instructor's permission to make audio or video recording of a
course. Such recordings are to be used solely and exclusively for the purposes of that student's study
for the course and are not to be distributed in any form without the knowledge and permission of the
instructor. "Taking the course" by listening to recordings made in class is not permitted except in
formalized individualized study situations.

appropriate and feasible for students to finish their course work, faculty will make a reasonable effort
to work with students to this end.
