Academic Calendar 2004
(New Academic Choices)

In the event that a student requests it, an instructor shall produce and review* with the student all papers (final examination or other) not returned to the student and for which a mark has been assigned. A student who has appealed in writing to a departmental chair (or dean in faculties without departmental structure) shall be granted access, upon his or her request, to such papers under supervisory arrangements established by the appropriate dean.

* In the course of this review, the student shall be entitled to see the paper.

Note: Students are reminded that there are deadlines for submitting requests for relief. See the STUDENT ACADEMIC APPEALS section.

Submitting or Returning Student Assignments, Tests and Exams
All student assignments, test, and exams will be handled in a secure and confidential manner. Particularly in this respect, leaving student work unattended in public areas for pickup is not permitted.

Retention of Examination Papers and Records
Departments (or Faculties without departmental structure) shall require all instructors to maintain complete records or all marks/grades (and their relative weight) for individual assignements, tests, etc..., which are used in calculating the final overall mark/grade in a course for a period of twelve calendar months from the date of the last regularly scheduled class of a course.

Departments (or Faculties without departmental structure) shall retain all papers (final examination or otherwise), which have not been returned to the student and for which a mark has been assigned, for a period of eight months from the date of the last regularly scheduled class in a course. Department chairs will make arrangements for storing such papers either with instructors or in a departmental depository. Instructors are expected to provide complete records to the Department or Faculty upon request. It is the duty of every faculty member who will be leaving the university temporarily or permanently at the end of the teaching term to formally transer his/her records and exam papers to the Chair of a Department (or his or her designate) or the Dean of the Faculty (for Faculties without departmental structure).
