This professor is also my academic advisor, and unfortunately is the only professor in my tiny, niche program at a large public university. Final grades were due yesterday, and I saw today that they posted my final grade, at 2.98, two points away from good academic standing of 3.0. However, grades have still not been posted for five point-heavy assignments on Canvas. I did well on past assignments, so it is surprising that this would occur based on the work I've put into this semester, though this professor has acted in bad faith before.

I just emailed this professor and cc'd the chair, requesting them to consider a grade change submission.

What are my rights as a student in terms of receiving grades in a timely manner? I did not have an opportunity to review feedback on my grades or appeal them before my final grade was posted, and still don't have feedback. If I don't hear back from the professor or chair today, should I reach out to the registrar, and what should I ask them?

I'm finishing this program come hell or high water, but it is frustrating when professors make it difficult.

Hi, I have a question about a worst case scenario, which I hope will not happen, but may be a possibility.

I have a situation where I have felt targeted to leave my program for the last two years (e.g. being graded lower than classmates for similar work, being offered a scholarship then it being retracted after professor was involved, rules being selectively enforced with me but not classmates, and being held to higher standards than classmates).

I am two years into my three years in an equivalency program. I am doing well in my practicums and have formed strong connections with my supervisors, so my professors' treatment of me seems beyond necessary professional gatekeeping, as I and my supervisors have faith in my ability to do good for the field.

I study music therapy a public university that receives federal funding, so potential discrimination has to be taken seriously. I have a case open in my school's equity department, but am hesitant to move forward into an investigation, which would alert and involve my professors. I am worried about retaliation through failing grades, which they have subjectively argued in the past, or if not that, then through saying I'm not ready and refusing to send this letter at the end.

Does AMTA have any statements about a situation like this, or do any professionals have other thoughts on this? Barring any further craziness, I would be on track to begin applying and requesting letters starting next month. I hope nothing like this happens, but I really appreciate any perspectives from professionals on this matter.
