Reassessments and Rereads: Faculty of Arts

Please consult the Faculty of Arts Office of Advising and Student Information Services for the Policy concerning Reassessment of Course Work and Rereads of Final Exams.
听

Reread Policy: Department of East Asian Studies

Rereads for graduate courses are governed by policies of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research.

Rereads for undergraduate courses (including 500-level courses) are governed by policies of the Faculty of Arts. In addition, the following departmental policy concerning only undergraduate rereads is to be followed:

  1. Students desiring their work to be re-evaluated shall first have a meeting concerning their assignment with the instructor.
  2. If this discussion does not satisfy the student's desire for a reread, the student may contact the Undergraduate Program Director (UPD). The student will submit a form (downloadable below), signing the form to indicate that the meeting in item 1. above has occurred, and attaching the assignment with the corrections and marks intact.
  3. The Undergraduate Program Director (UPD) will send this form to the instructor for counter-signature. In the event that the instructor claims that the meeting described in item 1. has not occurred, the Undergraduate Program Director (UPD) will bring the two parties together, and the process will not proceed until student and instructor have engaged in dialogue and tried to reach an agreement. After this discussion has taken place, if the student wishes, the process will move forward.
  4. The reread will take place according to Faculty of Arts policies. Please note: New Faculty policy requires that a request for a reread must occur within 10 working days of the date of the return of course work. Students must use diligence in obtaining corrected work.
  5. When the reread is complete, and the second reader has submitted a report, the Undergraduate Program Director (UPD) will inform both the student and the instructor of the result. The new grade may be higher, lower or remain unchanged, and will be final.
  6. In the case where the course instructor is also the UPD, the request for a reassessment should be submitted to the department Chair. The Chair will carry out the reassessment process as described above in the place of the UPD.
