Appeals

I’m not happy with my mark, how can I appeal my grade?

  1. Arrange an appointment with the relevant unit convenor/ lecturer to discuss your grade.

  2. If you are still not satisfied, put your case in writing, preferably typed, outlining your reasons to request a review of your grade. Attach any documents that you believe will support your case. Make sure you include your full name, student number, address, telephone number and if you have one, an email address. Address the letter to the Dean of Division and send it to either to the Undergraduate Studies Section or the Postgraduate Studies Section.

  3. From here it will be attached to your official student file and sent out to the appropriate Dean of Division. The Dean will discuss and review your case with the unit convenor and may wish to speak with you as well.

  4. If you are not happy with the outcome then you lodge an appeal with the Registrar for the matter to be considered by the University Grading Appeals Committee for a final review. Whilst it is okay to check up occasionally, patience is recommended. The more grades you are appealing the more people are involved and the longer your appeal process will take. Keep copies of everything! This is the most important thing you can do. Mistakes do occur and mail does get lost so be prepared. For added security get all copies signed by a Justice of the Peace (JP) to validate.
