Hey aska!<\/p>\n

Just got my final marks back and unfortunately I failed bch210 by a few percentage. I’m a fourth year student who was SUPPOSED to graduate this summer… Yeah, ouch :\/
\nI just needed to ask what kind of official university regulation process I should go through with in an attempt to change my mark- the recheck or remark or whatever its called. The final was mostly MC and there was a tiny bit dedicated to SA questions.
\nAlso, on a slightly unofficial note, do you think I’d have a chance at getting my mark bumped to the 50 I need by falling on my knees in front of the prof? (: (:<\/p>\n

Thanks for your helppp<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

well actually, the university all but OFFICIALLY RECOMMENDS going to your professor and begging down on your knees (that’s what you meant right?? yes of course it is i know it is), but only before the exam. in the aftermath, you need to go through some extra shenanigans<\/a> for a re-read (if you think it was unfairly marked) or a grade re-check (if you think there’s been a clerical error in marking), and you don’t go to your instructor right away. instead, you go to your faculty registrar’s office, pay a fee, and then your paper can get re-read\/re-checked as the case may be. then you go from there.<\/p>\n

keep in mind though that if it’s re-read, your mark might actually go down<\/a>. also it costs money that you are statistically unlikely to have. so think about it carefully before requesting a re-read\/re-check!<\/p>\n

best of luck with it,<\/p>\n
