If you believe an error has been made in the calculation of your marks or in the marking of your exam, there are two procedures you can follow to request a review of your mark.

A. Recheck of Course Mark

If you think there has been an arithmetical error in calculating your mark, you may request a "recheck." Fill out the "Request for Recheck of Course Mark" form and submit it to the Office of the Faculty Registrar within six months of the final examination period (see list of deadlines below). Indicate precisely where you think the error has occurred. The Department concerned will check that all answers have been marked, and that the marks have been added correctly; the examination will not be reread. The Department will also check that all term work marks have been correctly calculated. There is no fee for this procedure. If your mark is changed as a result of this review, the $13.00 exam photocopy fee (if paid) will be refunded.

B. Reread of Final Examination

If you believe that your final examination has been incorrectly marked in its substance, you may request a "reread." Fill out the "Request for Reread of Final Examination" form and submit it to the Office of the Faculty Registrar within six months of the final examination period (see list of deadlines below). Demonstrate that your answers are substantially correct by citing specific instances of disagreement, supported by such documentary evidence as course handouts, textbooks, lecture notes, etc. You must do more than simply assert that you "disagree with the marking," or that you "believe you deserve more marks." If you do not attempt to present a case, your request will not be accepted. The Department concerned will reread the examination in light of your arguments. There is a $35.00 fee for this procedure, which is in addition to the fee of $13.00 charged for a reproduction of the final examination. If your mark is changed as a result of this review, both the $13.00 exam photocopy fee (if paid) and the $35.00 reread fee will be refunded. You should note that once your final marks are available, the examination for any failed course has already been reread by the department concerned.

NOTE: A recheck or reread may result in a raised mark, a lowered mark, or no change.
