There are five grounds that you can submit a grade appeal on: Medical: Must be submitted with a completed Ryerson Medical Certificate.
Make sure that your medical situation was relative to the assignment of grades and performance in the course. Generally, employment commitments are not included under this ground. It is recommended that documentation or letters of support are accompanied with compassionate grounds.
If you are filing on the grounds of prejudice, your case will be postponed until a report is filed by the Discrimination and Harassment prevention Services. Procedural Error: Procedures were not followed and this has effected your grade or appeal ie. However, you can list multiple grounds in one appeal.
Also, check out the Policy Guidance tab to help guide you through the various policies. There are three levels of appeals that you can go through. Department level Faculty level Senate level 1. Your resolution should be related to the grounds that you are filing an appeal on. For instance, if you are filing an appeal on medical grounds, you would not request a neutral third-party to regrade your work.
However, if you are claiming that there has been unfair bias in the grading of your assignment under course management than a neutral third-party regrade may be appropriate. Your resolution should be reflective of the time period that you have filed grounds on. For instance, if you have filed a grade appeal on medical grounds for a condition that only affected you on your final exam; you would not request a retake of an assignment that was due prior to the medical situation.
Offer multiple resolutions and indicate a preference. You can always indicate more than one possible resolution; however it is important that you indicate the resolutions you deem appropriate and suited to the situation. For instance, for a course that you are failing you may want to ask for a retake of the final exam, or if deemed inappropriately, a retroactive drop of the course. Again, make sure that the resolution matches the grounds and accurate reflect a solution to the issue.
Remember that not all resolutions are positive. A formal regrading by a neutral third-party will sometimes result in a lower mark than the initial assessment. Under no circumstances can you request a grade-bump. Ryerson University is strict in its policy that marks are earned, not rewarded.
You cannot request additional marks or increases of grades without indicating that they are earned. The alternative to this request may be retaking an assessment or regrading an assessment. The F will always stay on your transcript, can't erase it. If you do retake the course, it will say on your transcript that you have taken it twice and that the new mark will replace the F and the gpa.
Also you should know that the new mark will always replace the original mark no matter what. At UWO, I was mortified to find out that even after re-taking the course, the F stays on your transcript, even though it doesn't count toward your GPA.
I always wondered what the point was of keeping a failed mark that isn't being counted toward any sort of grade. The academic adviser really didn't have a good reason either. She told me, "that's just how it goes. Your Personal Statement School Submission is a critical part of your application.
