If you believe that you received an unfair grade on an assignment, these are the recommended steps to take:
- Connect with the professor to explain the situation, your perspective, and to request feedback to your grading. Please allow your professor up to 5 business days to respond. Please note that when reviewing your grade, the grade may remain the same, increase, or decrease. Your professor is to provide feedback and clarity on their grading, they are not required to change your grade unless there is an error.
- If you’re unable to resolve this concern or unable to connect with your professor, please connect with your Academic Chair for next steps. Please allow 5 business days for a response from the Academic Chair.
- If the problem persists, you are within your rights to contact the Ombudsman for assistance escalating your concerns and beginning a formal review.
- You can also seek advice from Counselling Services. They can help you navigate the process. (Perth and Pembroke students can find campus-specific information under the Campuses tab on the Counselling website.)
For the full details of the procedure for reviewing grades, please read policy AA37: Review of Grade and policy AA19: Academic Appeal.
