EXAMINATION UNIT

The responsibility for academic evaluation and the assignment of grades belongs to the lecturer who has been assigned the responsibility for teaching the course.  A student who believes that he/she has been unfairly graded should first appeal the grade in writing using the Grade Review application.  

Such an appeal must be submitted to the Examinations Unit within two weeks of the communication of grades and must include a statement of the grounds of appeal.  There is a mandatory $300 application fee.

In the event that a further review is desired, an evaluator will be appointed to re-assess the disputed grade.  The evaluator will be given a copy of the student’s work together with the lecturer’s comment and grades.  The revised grade may be identical, lower or higher than the original one.  The evaluator will confer with the Head of Department who will sanction the grade change, if there is one.  The revised grade assigned by the evaluator is final.

Final Examinations for 2nd Semester 2017/2018 are scheduled for April 30 to May 16, 2017.

While every effort is made to prevent conflicts in the final exam schedule, some conflicts are unavoidable. Students with a conflict as listed below are responsible for declaring same via the Student Request form which is to be submitted to the Examination Unit.
