*Class contribution may include class participation, presentations, attendance, and selected hand-in assignments.
The General Management exam and the Class Contribution components will be weighted for each student individually within the ranges given. The weighting that provides the highest final grade will be chosen.Appealing a Grade
A student who feels they did not receive a fair grade in an exam, project or report should first discuss the matter with their instructor.
If the matter is not resolved with the instructor to the student’s satisfaction, they can request a review by another instructor in the Ivey Pre-Business Program. Please note that the result of this review may be a decision to raise or lower the contested grade, or to leave it as originally assigned.
The next step in the appeal process is to request a review by the Director of Ivey Pre-Business, Elizabeth Grasby.
Complete information on the University appeal process for undergraduates can be found on Page 2 of the Student Academic Appeals policy:
