Regulation respecting the conditions and procedures governing the review of a result

Education Act

(chapter I-13.3, s. 457.1, par. 4).

1. This Regulation determines the conditions and procedures governing the review of a student’s result pursuant to section 96.15 or 110.12 of the Education Act (chapter I-13.3).

The review of a student’s result consists in examining the result again. The student does not retake the examination. The review may lead to the initial result being maintained, increased or reduced.

For the purposes of this Regulation, the review of a result includes the review of the result of an evaluation or part of an evaluation. It also includes the review of a result consisting of several evaluations, in particular the result for a course, a term, a subject, a skill or a component.

M.O. 2022-005, s. 1.

2. A student, or the student’s parents, may request from the principal of the institution the review of a result.

M.O. 2022-005, s. 2.

3. A request for review must be submitted within 10 working days after taking cognizance of the result. A request for review concerning a result consisting of several evaluations may cover only evaluations for the most recent term completed and only evaluations or parts of evaluations that have not been the subject of a request. A request for the review of a result obtained further to an evaluation held not later than the last day of the school calendar may not be submitted after the following 15 July.

Despite the first paragraph, in the case of a result obtained as part of vocational training or adult education services, a request for review must be submitted within 30 days after taking cognizance of the result. A request for review concerning a result consisting of several evaluations may cover only evaluations or parts of evaluations that have not been the subject of a request.

M.O. 2022-005, s. 3.

4. A request for review must be made in writing. It must contain

(1)  the name of the student;

(2)  the name of the teacher;

(3)  the code or title of the course or subject concerned;

(4)  the identification of the evaluation, part of evaluation or result concerned;

(5)  the reasons for the request; and

(6)  the documents in support of the request, including the evaluation concerned if it was given to the student.

M.O. 2022-005, s. 4.

5. The principal of the institution must assist any person requiring assistance in making his or her request for review or in any step related to the request.

M.O. 2022-005, s. 5.

6. On ascertaining that the request for review is complete and includes reasons, the principal sends it without delay to the teacher to whose care the student is entrusted and requests that the teacher review the result.

M.O. 2022-005, s. 6.

7. Within 5 working days after the request is sent by the principal of the institution, the teacher must give the principal, in writing, the result obtained by the student further to the review with the reasons in support of the result. The principal communicates the result and the reasons to the student or the student’s parents without delay. The principal also informs the student or the student’s parents of their right to consult the documents in support of the result.

Despite the first paragraph, in the case of an evaluation made as part of vocational training or adult education services, the teacher has 10 working days to give the result with the reasons in support of it.

M.O. 2022-005, s. 7.

8. If the teacher to whose care the student is entrusted is scheduled to be absent for a period of at least 10 working days, the principal communicates with the teacher to inquire about whether the teacher is able to review the result within the prescribed time limit, unless the teacher is absent for one of the reasons provided for in sections 79.1 and 79.8 to 79.12 of the Act respecting labour standards (chapter N-1.1) or is on maternity, paternity or parental leave.

If the teacher to whose care the student is entrusted does not reply within 5 working days, confirms that he or she is unable to review the result within the prescribed time limit or is absent for one of the reasons provided for in the first paragraph, the principal entrusts the request for review to another teacher.

The teacher to whom the request for review is entrusted is selected on the basis of his or her expertise in the subject or field of teaching concerned by the request for review.

M.O. 2022-005, s. 8.

9. If, within the time limit prescribed in section 8, the principal of the institution becomes aware that the teacher is unable to review the result, the principal must, without delay, entrust the request to another teacher selected in accordance with the third paragraph of section 8.

M.O. 2022-005, s. 9.

10. The result obtained further to a request for review is final.

M.O. 2022-005, s. 10.

11. The teacher must ensure, as far as possible, that all documents relevant to a request for review can be consulted by a student or the student’s parents, by the principal of the institution or by a teacher to whom the request is entrusted in accordance with the third paragraph of section 8, in a timely fashion allowing for the exercise of the rights provided for by this Regulation.

M.O. 2022-005, s. 11.

12. The institution must make a request for review form available in paper form and on its website.

The form must contain the text of the second paragraph of section 1 of this Regulation.
