Cal Poly SLO Rescind Policy

I am currently anxiously waiting Cal Polys response but I was wondering if anyone had any insight. Does anyone know if they possibly have some wiggle room within their rescind policy? Below is my current situation.

I was just admitted off the waitlist as an Environmental Engineering major. During fall of 2023, I took ASL 1 virtually at a local community college and unfortunately did not pass the class and ended with a final grade of an “F”. The class was not used to fulfill any A-G or elective classes, I took the class because I wanted to learn more about the language.

There were changes made by the professor at the last minute in the semester which led to me and many other students in the class to not pass. I emailed the CC to request to change the grade due to the circumstances but in the end it was the professor who administered the change and he declined my request. This grade does not reflect my academic performance as I have excelled in school throughout high school as well as within college level courses, I recently received my AP scores as well and passed both exams I had taken.

Unless there’s more to the story that you opted to omit, there should be a process for disputing grades, including an escalation policy as necessary.

I included everything regarding the situation in my message as well as including a photo of the email sent to the CC when sending my email to Cal Poly. Hopefully they are able to allow me to continue my academics there. Thank you for your response!

Agree with @skieurope that you should look at the school’s policy to dispute grades. Did the final grading policy differ from the syllabus you received at the start of the class (if so, save any documentation)?

I would also contact others at the college such as your academic advisor and Dean of Students.
