Grade Challenges

The Kellstadt Graduate School of Business (KGSB) participates in a university program that permits students to challenge grades received in individual courses by filing a Grade Challenge Form​. The details of the grade challenge procedure are described in the DePaul University Student Handbook.

Before filing a challenge, please carefully consider whether the challenge meets the criteria that the Grade Challenge Committee uses to authorize a grade change. The committee has no additional authority other than the criteria listed in the DePaul University Student Handbook.

Please note the committee is not an appropriate vehicle for general complaints about a specific course. To register a concern about a course, please consider the following:

  • Discuss your concern with the instructor;
  • Discuss the matter with the appropriate department chair;
  • Discuss the complaint with a KGSB academic advisor; or
  • While the actions above will not result in a grade change, be assured that the concern will be taken into account in future KGSB decision-making.​
