Undergraduate Exams, Midterms and Assignments - Retention and File Copies

A reminder for undergraduate courses that final exams, midterms, assignments, etc. must be kept for eight months from the end of the course. That means nothing can be thrown out from September 1, 2008 onwards. If you have exams and such older than this, please give them to Jeremy and he will look after disposing of them properly. You should not put old exams, etc. in recycling bins as it should be considered confidential. If you have any questions or concerns, please see Jeremy.

The Department must have file copies of all exams as well as copies of anything that is required for assessment such as assignments. Please ensure that either Jeremy or your secretary receives copies for filing, especially those that are leaving, retiring or going on sabbatical.

Undergraduate Grades and Appeals

This is a reminder to faculty to please respond to enquiries from students about grades. Faculty who are going to be away for a period of time, should let Jeremy know who is handling enquiries/appeal. By not responding, it generates appeals, and the Undergraduate Office does not want to deal with appeals unnecessarily.
