Attendance
Class attendance is crucial to academic success at Ohio State ATI. According to university rules, a student may be disenrolled from a course if she/he is not attending.
If a student needs to miss several days of class because of illness or other problems, they must contact each of their instructors to make special arrangements to make up coursework. Students should consult with their faculty advisor for any anticipated extended leaves.

Grade Changes
Grades submitted by instructors and filed with the University Registrar are official university records. A grade can only be changed if:
- A procedural error (miscalculation of points, etc.) has been found.
- Action to change a grade is taken before the end of the second succeeding semester.
All grade changes must be based on criteria used with all other students in the course.
Students must follow this procedure:
- The student must meet with the instructor if the student feels there was a procedural error. If the instructor is no longer employed by Ohio State ATI, the student should contact the appropriate division chair.
- If the instructor agrees that an error was made, the instructor will initiate a "grade change request," which must be approved by Ohio State ATI's Associate Director.
- If the instructor does not agree that a procedural error was made, the student may meet with the division chair to discuss the grade and grading procedure. The chair has 30 days to review the request and respond to the student.
- If the chair's resolution is not satisfactory, the student may submit a written statement to Ohio State ATI's Associate Director describing the grade problem and the process to gain resolution. The Associate Director will determine if the grade grievance is due to grading procedures.
- Unresolved grade grievances due to grading procedures are reviewed by a faculty committee appointed by Ohio State ATI's Associate Director. The committee will consult the instructor and student to determine the validity of the grievance. The committee has 30 days after the student's request to complete its review.
- If the committee finds a procedural error occurred, and the instructor agrees, a "grade change request" is submitted as described above. If the instructor does not agree, the reasons for declining the committee's findings are submitted to the committee for additional review. If the committee reaffirms its original findings, it may authorize a "grade change request" to be initiated by the division chair.
