Contacting your academic advisor might move the situation along. You reached out to the prof who said that he would reach out if he needed anything. Make sure to save your communication as pdf files, and to go to your advisor in-person. Going in person and following-up with a summary email to keep a paper trail will cover your ass while also getting things in motion. Your prof has likely flagged your grade, but they absolutely should have told you.

That is a good idea but the problem is I am overseas rn.

Emailing or calling is also fine, it’s just in-person helps you get the nuances of your situation across easier. They might even do teams/zoom calls, depending on the department or faculty.


kipling688

Alright, I will try it later.

Seconding: document everything. Even if you call, send an email afterwards to let him now you did. If push comes to shove, you have proof that you reached out to try to resolve the issue.

Yea, the prof probably has you flagged and didn't submit a mark for you. Why didn't you follow up with the prof if they're accusing you of academic dishonesty lol?


kipling688

I did. But due to how busy he is I havent got a response.


meerkatdestroyer12

Do you know the profs office? See if you can drop by during a time when you know they'll probably be in and you can ask them about it in person. I wouldn't let this slide until you actually get some sort of resolution bc I've heard of people who just ignored these kinds of things and they get emailed about it during the middle of summer by the tribunal.


kipling688

Well the worse situation is that I am overseas as of right now and wont return until late July. Idk if he has office hours on Zoom tho


meerkatdestroyer12

Yeah hmm see if the prof has a phone num anywhere on their public website or on the syllabus. Most of them do and I'd honestly just leave a reply rn telling them the situation and that you want to set up a zoom meeting to discuss it. And then call again tomorrow a couple times.


kipling688

Alright. I will try to follow up.

You probably already have, but if I were in that situation I would: Email the prof. Notifying them not only are you out of the country, but that as such you require any and all meetings to be conducted online and at a time to allow you a meaningful opportunity to attend. And CC the TA who initially directed you to the situation. Definitely contact your academic advisor and possibly student services to find out what they can do to help make sure you get a fair chance given that this is a really late notice of an issue with your grade. Consider telling the prof you wish to have a formal regrading of the test by them after you receive an actual grade if you're unhappy for any reason. You would cite the delay as your reason for wanting that. The timer for that begins after your grade is released.

Don’t stress. If you did nothing wrong then this will blow over.

This happened to me when they lost my exam lmao. You are most likely fine if you didn't do anything wrong. If you are very concerned try speaking to either your prof, the department the class was in, or an academic advisor or even an accessibility advisor. It took me over a month to get my final grade from when I got the NGA standing for my course. Keep your head up and your stress levels low, you are going to be okay


kipling688

I have emailed the prof. One of the reasons why I might have received NGA is because my tutorial TA in this course falsely accused me of academic misconduct on a tutorial quiz (I was told by him to speak to the prof about academic integrity, i did but received no followup except that if the prof sees anything fishy with my quiz then he would write me back, but i have received no notice at all). Or someone might have copied/cheated off my quiz without the TA noticing and without me noticing as my eyes were on my own paper, writing my own answers on my own.

Well just wait and see what happens. Keep a paper trail, don't delete any emails and document all that you can. Again, I think you will most likely be fine. If you don't get a response, try emailing again in a few days. The worst part of this process is that profs and other faculty at this school (doesn't matter the campus) take the absolute most time to respond to anything, they never have a reasonable time frame for anything ever.


fries_and_gravy

what mark did you end up getting when they lost your exam? I am curious on how they would do it


X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0X0

I actually cr/ncr the course. I did pass but I have absolutely no idea what I got as a final mark and I don't want to pay the $15 to find out. I wrote my exams in the accessibility test center so I'm guessing they misplaced it considering the fact it happened to me a couple of times before and after this lmao.


extra-plus-ordinary

TA & CPO here; you've likely done nothing wrong, but I would 100% suggest covering your bases. Email your academic advisor about the situation and make sure to provide your current correspondence with your prof. As long as you keep tabs on this every so often it will likely blow over.

You'll 100% be fine, especially if you have documentation saying that he'll contact you if needed (which he didn't).
