Grade Appeal Policy

Students will receive frequent, meaningful, comprehensive, and timely assessment feedback. The College provides all currently enrolled students the opportunity to appeal course grades. 

Grade Appeal Process

The process by which a student may appeal a grade received in a course at Edison College Canada is 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 within 5 days.
  • The Campus Director will obtain a copy of the mid-term, final exam, or final course assignment along with assignment criteria from the 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 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 not eligible for further appeal.

Eligibility and Restrictions

Please note the following before submitting a Grade Appeal:

  • Only grades received on midterms, final exams, and final course assignments may be appealed.
  • Grades received for quizzes or short assignments may not be appealed and are at the discretion of the respective instructor.
