Policy #21: Academic Appeal

21.1 Purpose

Students have the right to appeal individual assessment outcomes that include a grade on a test or assignment or a Clinical Placement evaluation by a clinical supervisor, provided that they otherwise meet program expectations in all clinical and academic evaluations. Students may request to retake a test or rewrite a paper. Every reasonable effort will be made to encourage a positive learning outcome.

 

21.2 Procedure for Appeal

  1. The appeal request must be made in writing within one week of receiving the disputed evaluation. This request must be addressed to [email protected].
  2. The Directors will appoint a qualified academic official within the Institute to meet with the student and review the complaint. This meeting must occur within one week of receiving the appeal letter.
  3. If no resolution to the disputed assessment can be reached, the Directors, in conjunction with the Academic Department, will make the final decision.
  4. If the dispute is with a director or manager in their role as instructor or supervisor, then the final decision is to be made by a senior qualified academic on faculty.
