Requests for Reappraisal of Final Grades

Students may, with sufficient grounds, request that a final grade in a course be reappraised. Further information may be obtained from the department/division offering the course. Students applying to have a grade reappraised in a Faculty of Arts course should note the following:

• Requests for reappraisal must be filed with the unit offering the course within 21 calendar days of the release of the final grade in the course.
• Students may question the marking of specific pieces of work or the overall course grade. Normally, however, only written work can be reassessed.
• When a student asks for a reappraisal, an original grade may be raised, lowered or confirmed.
• Students wishing to request the reappraisal of a final grade should fill out the appropriate form available from the department/division offering the course and submit it to the same office.
• The decision of the department/division may be appealed to the Faculty of Arts Executive Committee only on grounds of procedural irregularity or new evidence.
