Evaluation / Grading<br />
NSCAD uses a letter grading system for all undergraduate courses.\\The evaluation system you<br />
employ, including dates <strong>and</strong> values for all required critiques, exams, <strong>and</strong> presentations, is to be<br />
described in your course outline. In accordance with the Collective Agreement, students are<br />
provided with Instructional Assessment Forms for each course. Instructional Assessment<br />
packages will be distributed late in the semester, <strong>and</strong> will include information for you <strong>and</strong> your<br />
students.<br />
Course outlines, academic warnings <strong>and</strong> other records relating to evaluation have become<br />
increasingly important in academic matters such as Grade Appeals <strong>and</strong> Appeals <strong>of</strong> Academic<br />
Policy. In the event that an appeal is made by a student in your course, you may be required to<br />
provide such records during or following your teaching semester. If you have questions or<br />
concerns regarding the challenge <strong>of</strong> grades, you may consult with the Registrar regarding the<br />
process.<br />
PLEASE NOTE that if you are advising Graduate students a grade <strong>of</strong> at least a B is required for<br />
the AH / LAS courses.<br />
