Assessment and grading system

Health Sciences uses the following scale to convert marks into grades

A+   = 85+
A    = 80-84
A-   = 75-74
B+   = 70-74
B-   = 60-64
C+   = 55-59
C    = 50-54
D    = 40-49
E    = 0

Health Sciences reserve the right to adjust this mark/grade conversion. This will occur only when deemed necessary and such adjustments will not be made to the detriment of a student's grade.

Late submission of work

Late work should be accompanied with a short note explaining why the work is late. Days late include week-end and holidays

Students with Disabilities

Students with disabilities should speak with someone at Disability Support Service.

Arindam Basu (Waimari 225) is in charge of liaison with students. Your class will appoint a student representative to the liaison committee at the start of the semester. Please feel free to talk to the Academic Liaison or the student rep about any problems or concerns that you may have.

Reconsideration of Grades

If they can reach an agreeable solution, students should then speak to the Head of the Department (Ray Kirtk Waimairi 204 - 364 3108 - ray.kirk@canterbury.ac.nz).
