2016-2017 Denver Seminary West Texas Extension Student Handbook 33 If forwarded to the Division Chair, he/she may require the student to work with the respective faculty member to redo the assignment, issue the student an automatic failure for the assignment or the course, or forward the matter directly to the RFC for remediation. After the remediation plan completion date, the SRC will assess whether or not the plan has been completed. If the plan has been completed, the Provost/Academic Dean will receive a copy of the remediation worksheet to be filed in the student's record. If it is determined that the plan has not been completed, the SRC may grant an extension, require the student to go through continued remediation, or escalate the matter to the FCC for final review. Student Grievance Process Students who wish to file a formal grievance regarding the behavior of a faculty or staff member or fellow student should use the following procedures that outline grievance resolution proceedings for non-academic matters. These procedures are not intended to create a contract, but to establish a process. The Seminary reserves the right to alter or change these processes as it deems appropriate while preserving due process and the integrity of the case. All student grievances should be put in writing with all relevant materials attached. All grievances will be addressed in a reasonably timely manner. (Please note that the Faculty Concerns Committee does not meet during summer or intersession). Informal Grievance Resolution Students have the option of seeking an informal resolution to concerns that arise. An informal resolution consists of communicating with the other party about the concern in question and attempting to resolve the matter without formal intervention on behalf of the Seminary. Students are not obligated to attempt an informal resolution before filing a formal grievance and should only proceed with an informal resolution if they feel safe doing so. Students engaging grievances through an informal process are encouraged to keep documented records including a detailed summary of the situation and dates and times of communications and outcomes. A student may decide to escalate the case at any time to the formal grievance process by notifying the Site Director, and one of the following two procedures will be applied: Formal Student Grievance Procedure Involving a Faculty Member: 1. Students who wish to file a grievance against a faculty member must submit a complaint and provide any appropriate supporting material to the Office of the Provost/Academic Dean. 2. The Provost/Academic Dean will review the submitted material as quickly as is reasonably possible and may choose to address the matter personally or submit it to the Faculty Concerns Committee. After being reviewed, a decision will be rendered and the student will be notified. (Note: The Faculty Concerns Committee does not meet during the summer or intersession.) 3. If the student wishes to appeal the decision of the Provost/Academic Dean or Faculty Concerns Committee, he/she may do so by submitting a petition to the Office of the Provost/Academic Dean within three (3) business days of receipt of the rendered outcome, requesting a review by the Administrative Committee of the Seminary. In the appeal the student should articulate the reason why he/she believes the decision should be readdressed based upon the following criteria: 1) Substantive errors in due process; 2) Presentation of
