Brandon University has adopted a new appeal process for students looking for a higher course mark, reports Winnipeg Free Press. Under this policy, students can challenge grades if they believe they were miscalculated or “graded inappropriately,” and can take their grievance to the department chair and then dean if unsatisfied. Applicants must also prepare an appeal package to share if they escalate the grievance to the dean’s office. The Winnipeg Free Press reports that some employees have given the policy mixed reviews, with one explaining that instructors are not given a chance to justify the grade they gave or refute a dean’s decision.
