Click here for the Application For a Re-Read (PDF)

Students who wish to raise questions regarding their grade, or the assessment of their academic performance, or their academic standing or status, and allege error in the academic judgment of their work on the part of the instructor, are encouraged first to speak informally with the instructor to clarify the reason for the assigned grade.

If dissatisfaction continues, the student is advised to make an appointment with the Dean or designate and to complete an Application for a Re-Read form (available above or from the Student Records Office). The form requires the student to provide a written, reasoned rationale for the appeal of the grade. The Dean or designate will arrange for a reader who may be someone other than the course instructor. The Dean or designate will advise the student of the outcome.

Students shall make their appeal as promptly as possible and no later than 30 days after the final grades for the semester have been posted. Students need to be aware that a Re-Read may result in the mark being increased, decreased, or remaining the same. Once the final grades for the semester have been submitted, final authorization for a change of grade rests with the Dean or designate, not the course instructor.

If the student alleges error or injustice on grounds other than the academic judgment of his/her work (such as discrimination, harassment, unfair evaluation practices), the student is advised to follow the Student Grievances Procedure as outlined in the College catalogue.
