Grade Appeal Policy
Students will receive frequent, meaningful, comprehensive and timely assessment feedback. The College provides students who are currently enrolled the opportunity to appeal course grades:
- Only grades received on the midterm and final assessments and major final course assignments may be appealed.
- Grades received for quizzes or short assignments may not be appealed and may be at the discretion of the respective instructor.
Procedure for Grade Appeal
In the event of a course grade disagreement, the student should attempt to resolve the circumstance as follows:
- If a student is dissatisfied with the grade received for a midterm, final exam, or final course assignment and can provide evidence that a revised grade is warranted, they should bring this to their Instructor’s attention. The Instructor will review the circumstances, and, if warranted, assign a revised grade.
- If the student is not satisfied with the outcome of their appeal to the Instructor, they should submit a written appeal to the Campus Director/Senior Educational Administrator (SEA) within 5 days.
- The Campus Director/Senior Educational Administrator (SEA) will obtain a copy of the mid-term, final exam or final course assignment along with assignment criteria from the Instructor and will have the assessment re-graded by another Instructor.
- If the assessment achieves a higher grade on re-mark, the higher grade will be assigned to the student.
- Grading reassessment will be approved by the Campus Director/Senior Educational Administrator (SEA) ending the appeal process.
- All documentation will be placed in the student’s file.
The College will provide in writing to the student the outcome of the appeal within 5 business days of the submission of the appeal. The decision will be final and without appeal.
