Q: What if I don't agree with my final grade?
A: Occasionally, after a faculty member determines a final grade, a student
may feel it necessary or appropriate to question or dispute that grade. Students
should review the Ross procedures for student disputes with an instructor (http://www.bus.umich.edu/pdf/StudentDisputesInstructors.pdf)
and proceed to the first step: discussing the issue with the instructor (in
person). Note: Any grade dispute must be initiated within three (3) weeks
of the grade being posted on Wolverine Access.
Q: Where is the RBS Lost and Found?
A: The main Lost and Found site is our Facilities Office located in K1340. This office maintains a spreadsheet of reported losses, as well as a log of items found. In addition, Kresge Library has a smaller Lost and Found holding area, whose contents are routinely forwarded to the Facilities Office.
Email inquiries regarding lost articles to:
RossOperations@umich.edu
Q: What if I have to step out of the program for a year?A: The University requires that students stay
actively registered. Should a student not register for a course within any
12-month time frame, the student would have to go through a re-application
process, including paying the application fee. In rare instances where a
student has stepped out because of engagement with a program which is in direct
support of the school's mission, this fee may be waived. For evening students,
whose work assignments sometimes cause program pauses, it is critical to pay
attention to this University requirement.
