Students have 10 university days from receiving marks to submit a review request in writing.
Students can request for a review of Assessment if:
- An error may have occurred in marker calculation
- Assessment Criteria were not properly applied
- Feedback was not provided in accordance with the assessment procedures or communicated to students in the Unit Outline or Learning Management System
- Incorrect advice was given by the staff teaching the Unit
- Discrimination or bias by the marker is alleged
- The Assessment Procedures have not been followed.
Assessment Review Process
The first step to request a review is to notify the Unit Coordinator in writing (e.g. by email) no later than 10 university working days after marks have been made available. This written request must include a reason for the request and evidence including examples (where possible).
The graphic below demonstrates the Assessment Review Process.
Contacting Head of School or delegate
If the Unit Coordinator does not acknowledge the review request within 5 working days, the student can then contact the Head of School or delegate. When contacting the Head of School or delegate the student must provide a copy of their original request, evidence of their attempts to contact the Unit Coordinator and details that support their request.
Where the Head of School is also the Unit Coordinator, then the student contacts the Head of College (or delegate) and follows the same requirements.
