Bylaw 55: Graduate Academic Evaluation Procedures
for complete details):
(a) the basis for determining the final grade in the course;
(b) the approximate dates for tests, essays,
etc
.
Note, as per
Bylaw 55
, alterations in the announced procedure may be made by the instructor with the consent of the majority of the registered class.
APPEALS
In addition to appealing a grade informally (see
Bylaw 55
), students may formally
appeal a grade
.
Graduate appeals must be made in writing to the Dean of Graduate Studies, in accordance with the Graduate Appeals Policy as stated in
Senate Bylaw 55: Graduate Academic Evaluation Procedures
.
Appeals must be received no later than three weeks after the final mark has been released by the Registrar.
REQUESTS FOR CONSIDERATION BASED ON MEDICAL OR COMPASSIONATE GROUNDS
As per Bylaw 55, a student who wishes to receive consideration based on medical or compassionate grounds should communicate with either the instructor or the Head of the AAU, or designate (
e.g
., program coordinator), offering the course as soon as possible. The form, Graduate Request for Consideration (for Health, Bereavement, or Extenuating Circumstances), should be completed and is available on the Office of the Registar Forms and Application for Students page (link:
http://www.uwindsor.ca/registrar/526/forms-and-applications
). A letter of rationale and supporting documents (e.g. the attending physician's letter) must be included. In such cases, the Instructor may grant an "aegrotat" grade on the basis of term work or assign an "incomplete" grade indicating what further work is required and the deadline by which such work must be completed. It is recommended that at least 60% of the term work be completed in these cases. The instructor's response will be forwarded by the Head of the AAU offering the course to the Dean of Graduate Studies who, on the recommendation of the program and the Academic Standing Committee, may grant aegrotat standing in the subject(s) concerned on the basis of the term mark, approve an Incomplete grade, grant permission for a supplemental examination, or other accommodation.
