A student who receives a “zero” for the examination because of any of the above stipulations may appeal against the “zero” score. A written appeal outlining the sequence of events and explaining the circumstances that led to the compliance failure, has to be sent to the relevant Senior Associate Dean. The Dean of Students office can assist the student in the appeals process.
The Faculty Panel on Academic Professionalism (FPAP) will review the written appeal of a student and make one of the following determinations:
- A score of zero will be retained for the examination.
- The recorded score may be reinstated, if the investigation confirms that the files are intact, can be uploaded, and there is no doubt about the integrity of the files and their logged times or an examinee’s integrity, in their attempts to ensure the files were uploaded. An academic penalty may be applied for non-compliance with examination procedures. The penalty may be up to 10% of the course grade.
- The examinee may be required to take a completion examination at the end of term, and an academic penalty may be applied for non-compliance with examination procedures. The penalty may be up to 10% of the course grade.
