I.1 General Principles


1. Reappraisals of graded term work and academic assessments occur at the department/faculty level that originated those decisions.

2. Reappraisals of term work are generally settled at the department/faculty level. The reappraisal process is outlined in Sections I.2 Reappraisal of Graded Term Work and I.3 Reappraisal of Academic Assessments (Final Grades)

3. Students are responsible to present their arguments as effectively and as fully as possible. Mere dissatisfaction with a grade is not a valid reason for requesting a reappraisal.

4. Appeals of thesis examinations or candidacy components that do not result in a student being required to immediately withdraw are considered to be appeals of academic assessments, and are made to the Faculty of Graduate Studies Appeals Committee as described in M.10. Graduate students wanting to appeal a thesis examination decision or candidacy component decision that does not require them to immediately withdraw must submit their appeal to the Faculty of Graduate Studies Appeals Committee. Any other graded term work or academic assessment appeals submitted by graduate students must be submitted as described in Sections I. Reappraisal of Graded Term Work and Academic Assessments (final grades) and J. Student Appeals to the University Appeals Committee and University Appeals Tribunal of this calendar.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
