Reconsideration of Grade

If you are unhappy with the result of any of your examinations or your final course grade, you may appeal against that result.

For up to four weeks after the release of results a candidate may apply to the Examination Arrangements Senior Co-ordinator for a Reconsideration of Grade. The reconsideration will normally consist of a re-marking and re-counting of the final exam script, together with a recount of the marks awarded for any other items of work. If you have extenuating circumstances which affected your performance in your examination, you should view the aegrotat regulations.

The Reconsideration of Grade fee is $60 for each course applied for. This is refunded if your grade is changed.

How to apply

Application forms: Once completed you must submit the form and fee (or payment details) to the Cashiers:

Payment instructions are included in the Payment Options (PDF, 33KB) form.
