Reappraisal of Final Grades

Examination scripts and class records of students are carefully assessed, especially in marginal cases, and there is little likelihood of the original standing being changed on appeal. In the case of final examinations, however, a formal written request for recalculation or reappraisal of a final grade may be made to the academic department/division which offers the course. Requests for grade reappraisals must be submitted within three weeks of the release of final grade reports in any term, and must state clearly why the student believes that the final grade deserves a higher rating. Recalculations and reappraisals are dealt with by the Chair/Director of the department/division in consultation with faculty members.
