Grade Appeals

If you have a concern with your grade there is a two stage process to follow:

Firstly, request a Grade Review directly with your unit convenor and Department.

If you then wish to request a formal Grade Appeal you must provide a written submission to the Department.

A formal Grade Appeal must be supported by evidence. The tables below outline the Grade Appeal steps and the timeframes in which they must be completed.

Where a student believes there has been a procedural irregularity in the consideration of their Grade Appeal, they may then submit an appeal to the University Grading Appeals Committee.
