Instructors of courses that include graded, written term work may choose
to provide the option of additional work to eligible students. The following
conditions apply:
-
if there is an option for
additional work, it must be announced in the course outline at the beginning of
the course;
-
additional work involves
revising one or more previously submitted papers or submitting new written work
to replace the original work;
-
you
must be in Satisfactory or Probationary Standing;
-
you
must have received a final grade of D, J, F, or U in the course;
-
the weight of the additional
work will be equal to the weight given to the work that was revised or replaced when the
original grade was submitted;
-
the grade resulting from the
revised or additional work will be recorded as a supplemental grade;
-
the supplemental result will
not replace the grade originally obtained, which is used in calculating the GPA;
both the original grade and the supplemental grade will count in calculating the
CGPA;
-
in courses in which both a
supplemental examination and additional work are available, you
may choose the additional work or the examination or both; where both are
written, only one supplemental grade will be submitted, reflecting grades for
both the supplemental examination and the additional work;
-
additional work in courses
outside the Faculty of Science (including B.A. & Sc.) is subject to the deadlines, rules, and
regulations of the relevant faculty.
Note for the Faculty of Science (including B.A. & Sc.): Requests are made at Service Point (3415 McTavish). However, it is important that you also see a Faculty adviser in Dawson Hall to talk about your options and the effects that your request may have on your studies. For more information, see
