Can I Request for A Remark of An Assessment?

If you believe your assessment mark or grade is incorrect, you can request a review. First, discuss your result informally with your lecturer within 3 business days of receiving it. If the concern isn’t resolved, you may lodge a formal request within 10 business days. A review may result in your grade increasing, decreasing, or remaining the same.

Before you start

• Review the Assessment Policy.
• Contact your lecturer within 3 business days of receiving your mark to seek clarification.
• You may proceed only if the concern remains unresolved after the informal discussion.

Eligibility

  • There was bias on the part of the marker.
