Appeal a final grade
Find out whether you can appeal a final grade, and what the process involves.
Before you appeal
If you're unhappy with your results, the first thing you should do is ask your lecturer or tutor for more detailed feedback. This might help you understand what was expected and how you can improve in the future. If you disagree with the feedback, you can ask for a second opinion by writing to your unit coordinator (in some units, this happens automatically for assignments that get under 50% – check the unit description to find out if this is the case). If you still don't think the result is fair after this, you can submit an official appeal.
What is a final grade appeal?
A final grade appeal (also referred to as a review of grades) is a formal request to have a final grade reconsidered if you have valid concerns about how a unit was delivered or assessed.
If you didn't perform well due to personal or health issues, you can't appeal your grade, but you can apply for a remission of debt (debt cancelled or fees refunded).
