Students should consult Court of Student Academic Appeals the appropriate program personnel before enrolling. The faculty at Wichita State has established a procedure to resolve disputes arising out of the classroom through the Court of Student Grading System Academic Appeals. The court hears appeals from students who believe Wichita State grades include A (excellent), B (good), C (satisfactory), they have been treated unfairly in grading. The court is designed to D (unsatisfactory), F (failure), W (withdrawal), Cr (credit), NCr (no help resolve differences that cannot be settled within the framework of credit), Bg (badge), NBg (no badge), S (satisfactory), U (unsatisfactory), the student-faculty relationship and offers an important safeguard for I (incomplete), IP (in progress), NGS (no grade submitted), CrE (credit students. by examination), and Au (audit).
