In accordance with the Charter of Student Rights, and subject to its
stated
conditions,
you
have the right to consult any written submission for which you
have received a mark and the right to discuss this submission with the
examiner.
In a case where you
feel
that an error has been made in arriving at the final grade, a
Re-Read Application Form must be completed in the BCom
Student Affairs Office, requesting the instructor to carry out a detailed check
that all questions have been marked, and that the final grade has been computed
correctly on the basis of the term work, final examination, etc. However,
during the course of the term, any requests to have term work re-evaluated
should initially be made directly to the instructor.
The Desautels Faculty of Management recognizes two types of rereads or
reassessments:
-
reread of coursework (term
papers, mid-terms, assignments, quizzes, etc.)
-
reread of a final exam
In both cases, rather than recorrect the work and then grade it as they
would have done themselves, reviewers assess the appropriateness of the
original grade based, for example, on the application of the grading key to the
student's work. If a grade is deemed unfair, it is changed, whether the new
grade is higher or lower than the original, i.e., the reviewer's grade takes
precedence over the original grade.
Rereads of Final Exams
Rereads of Final Exams
These rereads are administered by the BCom Student Affairs
Office. You
must apply in writing to the BCom Student Affairs Office by
March 31 for courses in the Fall term and by September 30 for courses in the
Winter or Summer terms (these deadlines are strictly enforced, and no requests
will be accepted past them). It is strongly
recommended, but not required, that you
consult with the instructor of the course before requesting a
reread of a final exam.
Reassessments and rereads in courses outside the Desautels
Faculty of Management are subject to the deadlines, rules, and regulations of
the relevant faculty.
