Academic skills development: Tutoring assistance in study skills, writing skills or mathematics proficiency is available. Contact the Academic Support Centre regarding Learning Resources, Effective Writing and Computer Resources Programs, see §24.16. The Centre for Writers also offers writing support to all students (www.c4w.arts.ualberta.ca)

Grade Evaluation in a particular course—appeals process: Appeals regarding students' standing in a particular course must first be directed to the instructor concerned. Frequently, the issue can be resolved at this level. If not, the appeal must then be directed to the Chair of the Department offering the course. Final recourse is available to the Faculty of Arts Academic and Grade Appeals Committee. If a final grade is in dispute, in whole or in part because of the grade for the final examination, the student must apply for a formal reappraisal of the exam. The deadlines to initiate a grade appeal with the instructor are February 1 for Fall courses, June 25 for Winter or two-term Fall/Winter courses, and within 30 calendar days after the publication (i.e., posting) of results in the Department for Spring/Summer courses. Note: that these same deadlines apply for initiating a reappraisal of a final exam. In the event the issue is not resolved with the instructor or Chair, a formal Grade Appeal may be initiated with the Faculty provided the written appeal is received by the Associate Dean (Student Programs) no later than March 1 for a Fall course, July 25 for Winter or two-term Fall/Winter courses, and within 60 calendar days after the publication (i.e., posting) of results in the Department for Spring/Summer courses.

If the above deadlines are not observed, no further recourse is available.

Copies of the complete grade appeal and academic appeal procedures and regulations are available from the Undergraduate Student Services Office, Faculty of Arts (6-5 Humanities), or on the Faculty of Arts website (www.foa.ualberta.ca).

Reexamination: See §23.5.5 (reexaminations).

Missed examinations: See §23.3(2).

Academic Standing or graduation eligibility—appeal process: Students who wish to appeal a ruling affecting their academic standing or graduation eligibility should direct their appeal in the first instance to the Associate Dean (Student Programs). Recourse is then available to the Faculty of Arts Academic Appeals Committee and the General Faculties Council Academic Appeals Committee, in that order. Further information on such appeals is available in §23.8. Also see §42.6.

Academic offences: A breach of the Code of Student Behavior (for example, plagiarism or cheating) may result in serious penalties. For further information, see §25.
