Students who believe that an academic injustice has occurred must try to resolve the problem at the lowest appropriate level of authority.  The levels of authority from lowest to highest are:  individual faculty member; department graduate coordinator and department graduate committee (if existing); department chairperson; Dean of Graduate Studies, and lastly, the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs.  The case should be presented to progressively higher levels of authority until resolved.
