Review of overall unit results
The only grounds for review of unit result for a unit where a passing grade has been achieved will be an arithmetical check of the calculation of the overall grade. There will not be any re-marking of any assessment component within the unit. There will be no review of a unit result for a unit where a failing grade has been recorded. All requests for review of a unit result must be received in writing within 20 working days of the official publication of results. No applications received after this date will be considered. Applications should be submitted to the relevant Department. Departments will notify students of the outcome within 10 working days of receipt of the review request and advise students of the appeal process in their notification letter. Appeals against Department decisions must be lodged with Associate Dean Teaching (for undergraduate units) or the Director, Graduate School of Business (for post-graduate units) within 10 working days of the student receiving the Department notification of the outcome. Appeals decisions will be processed within 10 working days. There is no further appeal within the Faculty. Note: This policy does not preclude a student from seeking a review of an overall unit result based on non-academic grounds, such as unlawful forms of discrimination which may have negatively impacted on their performance. These grievances are managed by the University’s Equity and Diversity unit.
Review of result for an individual assessment item
Students may request a review of the result for an assessment item for within semester assessment provided that the assessment item is worth more than 10 per cent of the final mark (unless the total of such pieces exceeds 30 per cent of the final mark in the case of continuous assessment such as submission of weekly exercises or computer based learning activities). Requests for a review of an assessment item must be submitted in writing to the relevant Department no more than 20 working days following the Department’s notification of the result for that assessment item. No applications received after the 20 working days have elapsed will be considered.
