Student’s Request for a Grade Re-appraisal

Please submit a separate form for each re-appraisal request

Prior to submitting a request for a grade re-appraisal through this form, you must speak with the course instructor to review your assignment to explain your rationale for why you would like the grade reviewed. If, after this meeting with the instructor, you feel there are sufficient tangible academic grounds to request that the assignment be re-appraised, please complete and submit the form below.

Note: The grade re-appraisal form is not for matters related to academic integrity infractions (e.g. plagiarism).
Regulations and Guidelines

  • The deadline to submit a grade re-appraisal for an assignment is 21 days from the release of the final course grade.
  • Once a complete grade re-appraisal form is submitted, it will take approximately 3 to 4 weeks to complete the review.
  • The Review Committee does not have the authority to change your grade and can only determine if the claim that a grade was incorrect is valid or not valid.
  • Grade re-appraisal requests will be reviewed solely on the supporting evidence you provide and will not be considered if there has been an instance (or pending instance) of academic dishonesty in the assignment you are asking for a grade re-appraisal.
  • Oral work and participation marks are not eligible for a grade re-appraisal.
  • Group assignments are only eligible for a grade re-appraisal if all members of the group agree to the review. Any grade adjustments to a group assignment will be applied to each group member's final grade
  • Should there be a component of the group assignment that is individually graded (e.g. each member of the group completed their own self-reflection that is graded separately by the instructor), one member of the group can request that their individual portion be re-appraised, without all members agreeing. In this case, only the student who requested the re-appraisal will see any relevant grade adjustments.
  • The Review Committee may reach out to the instructor to collect additional information related to the grade re-appraisal request.
  • Additional supporting documentation will not be accepted from you after you submit this form, or the grade re-appraisal decision is rendered. There is no appeal process to a grade re-appraisal decision.
  • If the request for a grade re-appraisal is approved, a different instructor will be identified to review the assignment(s) and determine a new grade for the assignment. The grade you receive on a re-appraisal is final and may result in the original assignment grade being lowered, raised, or confirmed. Your final grade in our registration system will be updated accordingly.

Supporting Evidence to Substantiate Your Request

Please submit specific and tangible evidence that supports your reasons for requesting a grade re-appraisal for this assignment.

The following is an example of specific and tangible evidence:
  • A document showing where in the assignment the instructor made a mistake, with clear references comparing your graded assignment to the assignment instructions, grading rubric or other related materials. Feel free to use a screen capture tool or track changes in your document to add your commentary next to the section(s) in question or highlight where the instructor made a mistake.
The following are not examples of specific and tangible evidence:
  • Just stating that your assignment deserved a higher mark with no supporting evidence.
  • Just stating that you disagree with your instructor with no supporting evidence.
  • Stating that you only need a few marks to pass the assignment or other personal, financial, or family matters.
Assignment Type(Required)
How many other members are in your group (not counting yourself)?
Please provide a valid email address for all of your group members. A copy of this form will be emailed to them and they will be asked to provide their permission to proceed. You do not need to include your own email address here.
Please describe in writing the reasons for the appeal request and how the supporting documentation you attached provides the specific and tangible evidence for why you feel your assignment was graded incorrectly.
Based on your meeting with the instructor, please provide a written summary of your conversation explaining their rationale for the grade you received.
