Who typically reviews final grades when a grade appeal is filed at Broward College?

• A. The Appeals Committee
• B. The Registrar
• C. The Department Chair
• D. The Instructor or Dean

Answer: (D)

The person who reviews the final grade in a Broward College grade appeal is the instructor who taught the course, with a Dean taking the review if escalation is needed. The instructor has direct insight into the grading criteria, rubrics, and the student’s submitted work, so they’re best positioned to re-evaluate the grade against the course policy. If the process requires higher-level oversight, a Dean steps in to ensure the appeal aligns with college policies and standards. The Appeals Committee generally handles the process flow rather than the final decision, the Registrar handles records, and the Department Chair isn’t the typical final reviewer in this path.
