On the Student Administration website, you will find detailed information on results, appeals, deferred examinations (Student Services provides information on special consideration), exam clashes, exam papers and rules and who to contact for further examination enquiries.
If you require a calculator during your exam, please see our calculator policy which details approved calculators. All calculators used in exams must have an "approved calculator" sticker.
Appealing against your assessment
If you are dissatisfied with an assessment result or the progress status, you have the right to lodge an appeal within 20 working days from the notification of result.
An appeal against an assessment result must demonstrate that the assessment of academic performance for the unit(s) is incorrect or unfair. Students who believe they have grounds for such an appeal should first contact the lecturer concerned. If the matter is not satisfactorily resolved the student may then lodge an appeal with the appropriate Head of School.
Appeals against progress status must also be supported by evidence and should be addressed to the Faculty's Associate Dean (Academic).
The University procedures for appeals are available from the University Secretariat.
