All but one of my instructors gave me an extension to complete their courses. (This are distance learning courses which are done outside of the classroom, but not online) Originally I had asked for shorter extensions but two of the teachers insisted that I take a month extension, which I did. The official policy states that each student can be allowed up to one year after to complete the course, which they will have an incomplete. When I tried asking the third instructor for an additional extension, he rejected it stating that his policy was to only give one. I didn't know about his policy (he recently replaced the former instructor over the summer) and therefore told me that I was not given any further time.
I emailed him back, politely stating that while I understood his point, my other instructors had insisted that I take more time to complete their classes. He didn't respond back and instead gave me an F, and I have more than half the class completed and I had already arranged to take the final next week! I think this is unfair. How can I petition this grade? I have all of the assignments done and have already studied to take the final exam. What can I do? Who should I talk to in order to resolve this? I don't want an F!
