An unresolved complaint is raised to the level of a grievance when the student completes and submits a Student Grievance form.
The Student Grievance process must be initiated during the semester the alleged incident or issue occurred or the regular academic semester (fall or spring) that follows.

学术不满
At NWACC, instructors have the authority to conduct classes, provide for the discussion of ideas, make assignments or other exercises, require examinations, and render judgments on the performance of students. This authority provides the foundation for an academic relationship between individual faculty members and individual students that is unique to colleges and universities. The relationship between students and faculty is maintained by the interplay of traditional and customary standards of conduct and courtesies, the observance of which is the responsibility of both faculty and students.
Inevitably, issues associated with the faculty member's responsibilities as an instructor and the student's responsibilities as a learner may occasionally arise. If unable to resolve these issues with the instructor, students may submit an 学术不满.

学术仁慈
Students who perform poorly during their early years at college often drop out and return later in life to resume their education. However, their previous academic record may present a major obstacle to their overall GPA and their chances for success. Arkansas Act 1000 of 1991 gives returning students an opportunity for a new undergraduate start without the handicap of their previous academic record. Students who desire to have their previously earned grades and credits removed from the calculation of their cumulative grade point average may apply for academic clemency according to the following guidelines:
- Academic clemency may be granted to returning 正规博彩平台 students who have not been enrolled in any institution of higher education for a period of three years prior to the term for which academic clemency is requested.
- Academic clemency will cover all credits attempted during the term or terms for which clemency is granted.
- Courses for which clemency is granted cannot be used in computing the grade point average, for meeting requirements for prerequisites, or for meeting graduation requirements.
- Academic clemency may be granted for up to four (4) previous terms at NWACC where the semester GPA was below 2.0.
- Academic clemency may be is limited to a one time use by Northwest Arkansas 社区 College students.
- 学术宽恕是最终的和不可逆转的。
Returning students may petition for clemency following one term in which the student demonstrates the resolve to succeed academically by earning a grade point average of 2.0 or higher in six (6) or more credit hours.
To initiate this procedure a student must state in writing the term or terms for which clemency is requested and complete an academic clemency petition form in the Enrollment Support Center. An academic clemency appeal committee will review the student’s request and approve or deny the petition.
