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 mark and the right to discuss this submission with the examiner.

The following information pertains to rereads of final exams, final term papers and projects worth at least 25% of the final mark for courses offered by the Faculty of Education:

  • These rereads are administered by the Student Affairs Office, but conducted by the units involved.
  • Students must apply in writing to their Faculty 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 after these deadlines).
  • Students are assessed a fee of $35.00 for such rereads. It is strongly recommended, but not required, that students consult with the instructor of the course before requesting a reread of a final exam.
  • The reviewer will assess the fairness of the original grade rather than re-mark the assignment as he or she 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.

Note: Reassessments and rereads in courses not in the Faculty of Education are subject to the deadlines, rules, and regulations of the particular faculty.
