Grade Appeal Policy

Grade Appeal Policy Guidelines

1. The process by which a student may appeal a grade received in a course at Vancouver Lions Gate College Inc. is as follows:

If a student is dissatisfied with a grade received and can provide evidence that a higher grade is warranted he/she should discuss with his/her instructor. The instructor will reconsider the grade and, if warranted, assign a different grade.
If the student is not satisfied with the outcome of his/her appeal to the instructor, he/she should submit a written appeal to the On-site administrator or the Senior Education Administrator in the case that On-site administrator happens to be the same person as the instructor.
The On-site administrator or Senior Education Administrator will obtain a copy of the assignment/test in question from the instructor and will have another instructor re-assess the test. .
If the student achieves a higher grade on re-assessment, the higher grade will be assigned to the student. If the student achieves a lower grade on re-assessment, the original grade will be retained.
The grade will be considered final and cannot be appealed.
The decisions on the grade appeal will be provided to students within 30 school days of Vancouver Lions Gate College Inc.’s receipt of the written appeal.
