Advocis Appeals Policy

The goal of the Advocis appeals policy is to ensure that candidates are able to request a re-mark of their assignment or exam if they failed. The cost to re-mark an assessment is $150 plus GST/HST.

The re-mark of a test or assignment involves an independent second marker reviewing the assessment in question. The second marker is not provided with details of the student’s original mark. The same rubric used by the original marker must be used for re-marking. The re-marking of an assignment or an exam could result in a higher or a lower mark from the original grade. The second grade will be the final grade.

If you believe an error has been made in the calculation of marks or in the marking of your:

  • CLU Advanced Estate Planning (257) term assignment, or
  • CLU Advanced Estate Planning (257) final exam; or

Please complete the Request for Re-Mark form:  Request for Re-Mark

Please submit your Request for Re-Mark no later than 4 weeks after you receive the final grade on the assignment or the exam.

Allow 30 days for your request to be processed.

Please note that the re-marking of multiple choice exams is not available for the following reasons:

  • there is no discretion in the way a multiple choice test is graded (scored), and
  • if there is an error, for instance, an invalid question, every student will have been subjected to the error

We regularly perform audits of the multiple choice questions in each of the Advocis programs. We do this to ensure that the questions included in our assessments test at an appropriate level and that the questions we ask are fair but challenging.
