If you believe your assignment was incorrectly graded, you may appeal the grade that you received.

We ask that you are as specific as possible and include any supporting evidence to direct the instructor to the portion of your initial answer that you believe was either overlooked or misunderstood.

The instructor will review the section(s) presented in the appeal and determine if the grade should be updated. Submitting an appeal does not ensure your grade will be changed as a result of instructor review.

Instructors will not accept CRT or GWP grade appeals for grade of 80% or above (55 points or higher). If an appeal is received the reserve the right to reduce the score further during their review.

The deadline to submit an appeal is the last day of the course session.

  • How to submit: Email directly to the designated instructor.

  • Where to find the instructor’s email: Check your course introduction page (by clicking the course name at the top of the left-hand navigation menu). The designated instructor for CRT grade appeals will be listed.

What to submit: A screenshot of the question/answer and your reason for the answer being marked incorrectly.

  • Where to find the instructor’s email: Check your course introduction page (by clicking the course name at the top of the left-hand navigation menu). The designated instructor for CRT grade appeals will be listed.

Appeals are denied if the original grade is greater than 80%.

*Do not submit the CRT grade appeal form to Student Support. Doing so will delay your appeal as you’ll need to resubmit directly to the instructor.

  • How to submit: Attach the form and supporting evidence in a message to Student Support via the in-platform chatbot.

Appeals are denied if the original grade is greater than 80%.

Important warning on the use of AI:

* Appeals from a group that has used Ai will NOT be accepted. Be sure you fully understand the policy on the use of AI. Read more about it here.

As stated best by a WQU instructor, “The task is simple - write every sentence yourself. I am yet to see a completely self written article that is flagged for AI similarity score.” - Ritabrata Bhattacharyya
