To Appeal A Final Course Mark

The process to appeal your final grade can be found under Section III "How to Appeal" subsection (1) "Appeal of a Final Course Mark": Reappraisal and Academic Appeals. Your first step is to discuss the final grade with your course instructor, once the grade has been released by Enrolment Services. 

 

If this does not resolve your concern (or you are unable to connect with your professor prior to the end of the 15 day period), your next step is to file an appeal to your faculty Dean. You will need to fill out Form A, "Request for an Appeal of a Final Course Mark," ("Request") which can be found here: Academic Appeal Forms | Lakehead University. Once you've completed the Request, including the reasons for why you think your grade should be changed, you can email it directly to the Dean of your faculty. Please note that the Request must be filed within 15 working days of the grade being released by Enrolment Services. 'Working Day' means any day of the week from Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays and any other day that the University is closed.

 

You must pay the $45 administrative fee to submit your Request;  you will need to speak with the Accounts Receivable office to do so: Main Phone 807-343-8140, Office UC 0002; Email accounts@lakeheadu.ca.
