Saint Louis University is a community of learning in which integrity and mutual trust are vital. Since the mission of the University is "the pursuit of truth for the greater glory of God and for the service of humanity," acts of integrity are essential to its very reason for existence. They also dignify and strengthen the activities of teaching, research, health care, and community service that are its primary mission.

Since the University seeks to prepare students and instructors for lives of integrity and occupations of trust, it regards academic integrity as a matter of serious import. Academic integrity is the foundation of the academic assessment process, which in turn sustains the ability of the University to certify to the outside world the skills and attainments of its graduates. Academic integrity allows those who practice it to contribute to a just and equitable learning environment that cultivates moral character and self-respect.

This policy is grounded in a respect for each faculty member鈥檚 initial evaluation of an alleged academic integrity incident, for a student's right to confidential, equitable, and timely adjudication of alleged incidents, and for the shared conviction of our college/school deans and associate deans that a university-wide academic integrity policy and process best promotes equitable and consistent application.

Students are expected to adhere to the standards of academic integrity as defined in this policy and as guided by the faculty and staff supporting their educational endeavors, thus contributing to an environment in which academic integrity is respected.

The Academic Integrity Policy sets out principles implicit in the University's ethos but that call for explicit formulation to guide its practice.

The Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business holds our students to a high academic standard. Our policies are meant to help produce students who are rooted in honest and original academic work that exhibits their true potential and creativity.

Probationary Status

Students whose cumulative SLU grade point average falls below 2.0 are required to apply for probationary status, which allows for no more than two consecutive semesters to improve scholastically and to demonstrate evidence of the capacity to proceed toward a degree. A student on academic probation may not register for more than 12 to 15 semester hours, depending on the probation term, and may not make application for a degree.

Suspension

A student may be suspended from a course, a school or college, or from the University for academic or disciplinary misconduct. At the time suspension is imposed, the conditions for reinstatement are explained. While under suspension, a student is barred from further registration. Reinstatement after academic suspension requires the approval of the student鈥檚 academic dean.

Dismissal

The dean of each degree-granting unit of the University has the authority and responsibility to dismiss a student from the school or college and the University for academic reasons.

The conditions under which a student is dismissed are:

• Inability to eliminate probationary status within the two semesters subsequent to the assignment of probation; or
• A total grade point deficit of more than 15 points.

A student notified of dismissal for these reasons may apply for transfer to another school of the University under the condition that he or she is eligible for special probationary status in the school into which transfer is requested.

To be eligible for this status, the student must:

• Have a grade point deficit of no more than 20 points.
• File a Request for Change of Major form available in room 130 of Cook Hall, and attach a written petition for this status.
• Enclose two letters of recommendation from previous instructors.

Saint Louis University Chaifetz School of Business Student Grade Appeal Procedure

The procedure outlined below has been developed in order to provide students of the Chaifetz School of Business with a process for appealing course grades that they believe were based on prejudice, discrimination, arbitrary or capricious action, or other reasons not related to academic performance. 

This policy does not cover instances where students have been assigned grades based on an academic dishonesty or academic misconduct policy. 

Also excluded from this policy are grade appeals alleging discrimination, harassment or retaliation in violation of the University鈥檚 equal opportunity, sexual harassment or disability discrimination policies. Allegations of violations of the University鈥檚 equal opportunity, sexual harassment or disability discrimination policies shall be referred directly to the appropriate dean. The Dean shall notify the University鈥檚 Director of Diversity and Affirmative Action who shall coordinate a review of such allegations and provide a report of findings to the Dean and appropriate University officials. After reviewing the information contained in the report, the Dean will notify the parties of his or her decision. Any grade change by the Dean based on these findings requires the concurrence of the department chair. If the decision is that the grade was not assigned because of discrimination, harassment or retaliation in violation of University policies, and the grade did not result from academic dishonesty or academic misconduct policy, then the student may proceed to pursue the grade appeal based on any remaining allegations, as specified below.

The following procedures shall apply for claims not based on allegations of violation of the University鈥檚 equal opportunity, sexual harassment or disability discrimination policies. The student shall have the burden of proof with respect to the allegations in the complaint and in the request for a hearing. The procedure will be terminated at the level at which the teacher and the student are brought into agreement on the appealed grade. All correspondence and records will be retained in the office in which the complaint is finally resolved.

Step One

The student shall first consult with the teacher in an effort to resolve the complaint. The student must contact the teacher within thirty days after the start of the regular semester following the recording of the disputed grade.* If the student cannot schedule a meeting with the teacher, the department chairperson may be asked to do so.  If the teacher is no longer employed at the University or, for some other reason is unavailable so that it is impossible to complete Step 1 within forty-five days, the student may proceed directly to Step 2.

Step Two

If the complaint is not resolved in Step 1, it should be presented in writing to the chairperson of the department in which the course was offered no later than forty-five days after the start of the regular semester following the recording of the disputed grade. In consultation with the teacher and the student, the department chairperson will attempt to resolve the complaint within a fifteen-day period dating from the formal presentation of the written complaint. If the chairperson needs additional time to pursue a resolution, both the student and the faculty member shall be notified as to the estimated time needed for resolution. If it seems desirable, the chairperson may confer with other members of the department. If the chairperson was the teacher of the course involved in the complaint鈥攐r, for any other reason, is disqualified to hear the complaint鈥攖he student鈥檚 written complaint shall be submitted to the Dean of the Chaifetz School of Business for undergraduate and professional students, or to the Graduate School for graduate students.
 
The student鈥檚 grade may be changed in Step 2 by the written consent of the teacher and the student.

Step Three

If the complaint is not resolved in Step 2, the student may request in writing that the chairperson forward the complaint to the appropriate dean. This request must be made by the student within five days following the notification to the student that the complaint was not resolved. The chairperson must forward the complaint to the Dean within five days together with a copy of all correspondence and records relating to the complaint.
 
The Dean may utilize any available resources to resolve the grade conflict within a fifteen-day period. If the Dean needs additional time to attempt a resolution, the student, the faculty member, and the chairperson will be notified as to the expected completion date. If the Dean and the chairperson agree that the grade should be changed鈥搑aised or lowered鈥搕he Dean shall be empowered to change the grade with out the teacher鈥檚 consent; otherwise the grade shall remain as recorded. The Dean shall notify both the student and the teacher of the decision in writing.

Step Four

Following notification of the Dean鈥檚 decision, either party may, within fifteen days, appeal the decision to the provost.
 
The Dean of the Chaifetz School of Business shall report orally to the school鈥檚 Executive Committee, at its next regular meeting, any grade changes that are made without consent of the faculty member. The Dean will report the grade change that occurred along with a general description of the circumstances leading to the change. Names of the students and faculty members will not be included in the report.

_____

* If an appeal based on the University鈥檚 equal opportunity, sexual harassment or disability discrimination policies is made and rejected, the date of the rejection shall be used instead of the original recording date for the grade in establishing deadlines.

Approved by the Faculty Assembly December 2, 1999, updated Summer 2018 to reflect school name change.
