A student who is dissatisfied with their assigned standing is encouraged to first discuss the matter informally with the instructor(s) of the course, when possible. Should the matter remain unresolved and the student believes that some or all of the material contributing to the assigned standing has been incorrectly evaluated, the student may apply for a Review of Assigned Standing.
To be eligible for review, the material in question must be a physical product that is submitted and evaluated as part of a student’s assigned standing that is available in its original as-marked form. Components of an Assigned Standing that are intangible such as a live performance, presentation, or class participation are ineligible for reviews. Graduate-level theses and doctoral dissertations are not subject to Reviews of Academic Standing. You can find information on the Review of Assigned Standing form fee at calendar.ubc.ca. The fee must be paid and the form submitted to the Advising Centre in Brock Hall, by the deadline. Cash is not currently an accepted method of payment.
