Is there any hope that UofT will allow grade replacement in the near future? Ever? I got a C- for a subject which I thought I would actually get a B! I have no idea how I ended up that way! and the prof refused to upload the answer key on portal! :\/ I am like WTF!<\/p>\n

I heard that the new student council people were going to ask for a grade replacement policy, and SO I voted for them! But I have no idea if they have any plans of doing it!<\/p>\n

Does anyone know anything about it?? Anything at all? \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Thank You!

Grade replacement at UofT… yeah. No. Sounds like wishful thinking, dude!<\/p>\n

But that is a pretty steep difference between grades. It’s quite possible and very likely that y0u were just the unfortunate victim of some bell-curving (quotas! quotas! quotas!) or maybe you just didn’t do as well on the exam as you thought you did? For now, request to see the exam<\/a> to make sure you did things correctly and know exactly what your grade was.<\/p>\n

And omg voting… it’s awful, but never in my four years did I vote. I really just walked by those people hounding you at the doors of Sid Smith with some excuse of “Sorry, I have class!”\/”Sorry, I’m in a rush!”\/“Sorry, I don’t go here!” <\/a><\/p>\n

But yeah, there’s no one to really contact with this “grade replacement” thing since it’s not, well, real. If you really want to talk to someone though, have a chat with your college registrar and see what you can do from there.<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
