If you need an extension to complete your homework over the following weekend, you can request this from your course instructor. Depending on your situation, they may be able to grant an extension, but there will be no access to the course site or the discussion forums.
Grade Reappraisal Process
If you disagree with your final grade, you can appeal to have it reappraised. Begin by immediately consulting your course instructor. Your instructor will give you an opportunity to explain your point of view. Be prepared to be a good listener when the instructor explains why the mark is what it is. Feel free to take notes of important points.
If after speaking with your instructor, you have not received the resolution you wanted and you still feel strongly about the situation you can email a request for a formal review to course@careerprocanada.ca. You must do this within ten (10) working days of speaking with your instructor. You will be given further instructions once you’ve requested the reappraisal.
