Grading Scheme Feedback Policy

The grading scheme for each course (that is, the kinds and weights of assignments, essays, exams etc.) shall be announced, and be available in writing, within the first two weeks of class. Under normal circumstances, some graded feedback worth at least 10 per cent of the final grade be received by students in all courses prior to the final withdrawal date from a course without receiving a grade, with the following exceptions:

  • graduate or senior undergraduate courses where course work typically, or at the instructor's discretion, consists of a single piece of work (for example, honours theses or graduate research papers not due by the drop date etc.)
  • practicum courses
  • ungraded courses
  • courses in Faculties where the drop date occurs within the first three weeks of classes
  • courses which run on a compressed schedule (a course which accomplishes its academic credits of work at a rate of one credit hour per two calendar weeks or faster).

Note: Under unusual and/or unforeseeable circumstances which disrupt the academic norm, instructors are expected to provide grading schemes and academic feedback in the spirit of these regulations, as soon as possible.
