ate Studies for a further review. The
appeal must be in writing and must
detail the reasons why the grade is felt
to be inappropriate.
4. Appeals from the decisions of the
Office of Graduate Studies may be
directed in writing to the Graduate
Scholastic Standards Committee.
The only basis for an appeal to the
Office of Graduate Studies and the
Graduate Scholastic Standards Com-
mittee is that the student has been
treated in an arbitrary and capricious
manner by the instructor. To make
such an appeal, the student must be
prepared to demonstrate that the grade
was assigned punitively, unfairly, or on
a basis other than impartial academic
evaluation. At the departmental level,
a grade appeal may be based on the
academic quality of the student’s work.
Once a grade has been posted on the
record, it may not be changed without
the written permission of the Office of
Graduate Studies.
Attendance
By registering in a course, the student
assumes the obligation to fulfill the
requirements set for that course by its
instructor. Students are responsible for
such activities as participation in class
discussions, laboratory sessions, field
trips, etc.; the preparation of papers
and reports; and the taking of quizzes
and examinations, any or all of which
may constitute a component in the stu-
dent’s final grade for the course. In
addition to observing the regulation
regarding withdrawal from a course,
students are expected as a normal
courtesy to inform the instructor of
prolonged absence or withdrawal.
Students who wish to withdraw offi-
cially form a course should refer to the
section of this Bulletin dealing with
withdrawal procedures (page 24).
Students who wish to request a
grade of Incomplete (Inc.) should refer
to the section on Incomplete Work
(page 24).

ules governing campus
parking, student records,
non-discrimination poli-
cies, complaint proce-
dures, the use of
computers, and general
student conduct are listed in this sec-
tion. 
A complete statement concerning
Queens College’s policy on sexual
assault, sexual harassment, security,
AIDS, and drugs and alcohol abuse is
contained in a pamphlet called Your
Right to Know. It is distributed to all
students with the Class Schedule and is
also available from the Information
Center in the lobby of Kiely Hall, in the
Office of the Dean of Students in Pow-
dermaker 116, and at the information
kiosk in the front lobby area of the Stu-
dent Union. Your Right to Know lists
resources both, on and off campus, for
students who have questions or seek
assistance about any of the topics noted
above.
Identification Cards
The College supplies each student with
an Identification Card. College regula-
tions require students to carry their
validated ID on campus and to present
it to a member of the faculty or staff if
requested to do so.
New students should have their ID
photos taken in Jefferson Hall, Room
202, after they have completed their
registration. The Bursar will mail a
validation sticker with acknowledg-
ment of receipt of payment of the
tuition bill.
The validated card identifies those
authorized to be on campus and
extends to registered students all the
privileges of membership in the College
community. ID cards are used in the
library system. A validated ID must be
shown to collect any check from the
Bursar’s Office.
Replacement of lost or stolen ID
cards takes five days from the date of
application to the Security Office, Jef-
ferson Hall 204. A fee of $5 is charged
to duplicate a lost ID.
Campus Parking
A special permit is required to park on
the campus. Parking space on campus
is extremely limited, and only a small
number of students can be accommo-
dated. During the day session, the Col-
lege provides parking for faculty, staff,
and students with severe physical
handicaps. During the evening session,
limited space is available for students
in courses beginning after 4 pm. Stu-
dents should plan their programs
assuming that parking will not be
available; program changes cannot be
made due to the lack of parking.
Applying for Parking
Applications will be accepted only dur-
ing the Regular Registration period and
the first week of classes.
Applications for parking may be
made at the Security Office (Jefferson
Hall 204). Applicants must produce the
following at the time of application: a
driver’s license, the car registration
(which must be in the student’s name
or in the family name), and proof of
College registration (computer print-
out or paid bill is the only acceptable
proof). Permits are assigned on the
basis of need, determined according to
a point system. Information about this
system is provided with the parking
application, which is available at the
Security Office. Office hours will be
posted at time of application. Approved
applicants will receive a parking decal
from Security after payment of $125 to
the Bursar for Fall/ Spring parking.
Students purchasing a parking decal
will receive a copy of the parking and
traffic regulations. Decals must be per-
manently affixed (not taped on), accord-
ing to the directions printed on them.
Lost or stolen decals will not be re-
placed, and parking fees are not refund-
able. Violation of campus parking or
traffic regulations can result in fines,
suspension of parking privileges, tow-
away, withholding of transcripts, and
blocking of future registrations until
fines are paid. Parking fees and fines
are subject to change without notice.
Motorcycle riders are required to
purchase a decal at a cost of $125. A
special area will be set aside for motor-
cycle parking.
Parking for Students with Disabilities
Requests for parking privileges based
on physical disabilities must be made
through the Health Service Center
(FitzGerald Gym 204).
Student Records
The College abides by the provisions of
the Federal Education Rights and Pri-
vacy Act of 1974. Students have the
right to be advised of what student
records and information are main-
tained by the College, who maintains
them, who has access to them and for
what purposes, policies for reviewing
and expunging them, procedures for
granting students access and for chal-
lenging the records, cost charged for
copies, and other rights and require-
ments under the Act. All of this infor-
mation is available from the Registrar,
Jefferson 100, during the hours the
office is open. 
Queens College will confirm the fol-
lowing information concerning present
and former students: name, dates of
attendance, major field of study, and
degrees and awards received.
Any student or former student may
