The College, like any other employer, relies on the performance review process to assist its employees in their development. The College "provides for evaluation of all full-time employees on an annual basis, to assist in accurate appraisal of employees; improvement of job performance; improve the supervisor/employee relationship; and serve as a useful tool in the growth and development of the individual employee." (For more information refer to Policy II-70 and Procedure 2352.)

Specific benefits of an annual performance review include:

1. Clarification and/or verification of the employee's job description.
2. Establishment of a performance baseline for use by both the employee and manager in measuring future performance. This also helps employees "know where they stand".
3. Discussing special accomplishments to be appropriately recognized and recorded.
4. Determine specific goals and objectives for advancement or improvement that can be mutually determined and commitments made and recorded.
5. Discussion, encouragement and notation of employee career goals.
6. Provide written records to support future personnel actions.

A grade appeal is an established orderly process for a student to appeal an assigned course grade in cases where the student challenges the equity of the grade. It should not be confused with the student petitions outlined in MDC Procedure 4018.

The two (2) most important aspects of the formal grade appeal process are: (1) Only the student can elect to terminate the process before a final decision is made by the committee; (2) The committee's final decision, whether in favor or against the student, is not subject to further appeal within the College.

Grade appeal applications may be obtained on the Academic Affairs website or at the Academic Dean's Office in room 8218.
