If you have a good reason to believe a mistake has been made in the assessment of your original grade, you can appeal your grade. Before you file your appeal through the Registrar's Office, you can view your final exam through your faculty/school/ department. Final grades are released in Aurora.
First: Speak informally with your instructor. Discuss your concerns with your instructor during office hours or at another agreed-upon time. They may provide you with valuable feedback or may be willing to review your paper or exam again.
Deadlines to appeal a final grade
- Fall Term: 15 working days from when the university reopens in January.
- Winter Term: 15 working days after Victoria Day (includes fall/winter spanned courses).
- Summer Term: 30 working days following the end of the applicable exam period.
Students should note the deadline for appeal of assigned final grades will not be extended for students who are on hold status nor will official grades be released by the Registrar’s Office until the hold has been cleared.
Fee
You will be charged a $50 fee for each appealed grade. The fee will be refunded for any grade that is changed. It should be noted an appealed grade may not be lowered.
