Reassessment and Rereads
Reassessment and Rereads
In accordance with the Charter of Student Rights, and subject to the conditions stated therein, students have the right to consult any written submission for which they have received a grade and the right to discuss this submission with the examiner (see University Regulations and Resources > Undergraduate > Examinations: General Information > Final Examinations > Final Examinations: Reassessments and Rereads).
The Faculty recognizes two types of reassessments or rereads:
Reassessment of Course Work
Reassessment of Course Work
Reassessment of course work is administered by the course instructor or the offering department. Requests, made by students, must be made within 10 working days of the date of return of the graded materials. The reviewer will assess the fairness of the original grade rather than re-grade the assignment as they would have graded it. Reassessments should normally be completed within 20 working days of the request. Grades may be lowered or raised, or they may remain the same, as a result of the reassessment. The grade obtained on the reassessment takes precedence over the original grade.
Rereads of Final Exams or Final Term Papers or Projects
Rereads of Final Exams or Final Term Papers or Projects
These rereads are administered by the Internships and Student Affairs Office, but conducted by the units involved. Students must apply in writing to the Internships and Student Affairs Office by:
- March 31 for courses in the Fall term
- June 30 for courses in the Winter term
- September 30 for courses in the Summer term
These deadlines are strictly enforced and no requests will be accepted past them. Students are assessed a fee for such rereads; for fee amount and details, please refer to the Student Accounts website. It is strongly recommended, but not required, that students consult with the instructor of the course before requesting an official reread. The reviewer will assess the fairness of the original grade rather than re-grade the assignment as they would have graded it. Grades may be lowered or raised, or they may remain the same, as a result of the reread. The grade obtained on the reread takes precedence over the original grade.
Reassessments and rereads in courses not in the Faculty of Education are subject to the deadlines, rules, and regulations of the particular faculty.
