<p style="margin-bottom:15px;">Paragraph 5.3 of the Bylaws of the Board of Regents provides in part as follows: Each college or school shall provide for a faculty-student appeals committee for students who believe that evaluation of their academic progress has been prejudiced or capricious. Such procedure shall provide for changing of student's evaluation upon the committee's finding that an academic evaluation by a member of a faculty has been improper. See also UNMC College of Nursing Policies: 4.1.6 Academic Review Committee and 5.2.19 Undergraduate Student Grade Appeal.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;">In accordance with the foregoing the faculty of each college or school constituting a part of the University of Nebraska Medical Center shall adopt a method for creating a faculty-student appeals committee. Such committee shall consist of at least four members, including the chair, selected from the elected academic review committee, and shall include at least one student representative. The chair of the committee shall be selected in such manner as the faculty of the college or school determines and shall in all cases vote as a member of the committee. The committee may adopt such rules as it deems necessary or advisable provided they are not inconsistent with these guidelines.</p>
