Appeals or Reviews of Grades
Participants have the right to a reasonable explanation of the grade they receive.
If a participant disagrees with the assessment of an instructor, they have the right to
request a review of their grade. The following are the steps in the Appeals process:
-
The participant must request the instructor to review the assignment. This request
must be done in writing by email within seven days of the date appearing on the email
they received which provided the grade for the assignment (or an attachment with the
grade). A copy of the email should be sent to the curriculum consultant, Heather
Persons.
-
The instructor will review the assignment and advise the participant as to whether
the mark will be changed and if not, why not, within seven days of the date appearing
on the participant's email request. A copy of the email should be sent to the
curriculum consultant, Heather Persons.
-
If the participant remains unsatisfied, they must complete the Appeal Form and email
the form to the curriculum consultant, Heather Persons.
-
The participant's assignment will then be provided without any identifying information,
to a reviewer, who is another instructor who has also taught the module. The
participant will obtain this second assessment within fourteen days, and this second
assessment will be binding.
The number of appeals of module grades is limited to three over a one-year period and a
total of six over a three-year period.
NOTE: All parties involved in the process are responsible for correctly addressing email
and the above obligations will be based on the date when email was sent.
