12      Review of decisions

(1)    If, after the final result of a student for coursework has been published, the student considers that the result is inappropriate or incorrect because the established criteria of assessment or some aspect of this instrument or relevant policy or procedure has not been followed, the student may, within 20 working days after the day the result is published (or any further time that the Associate Dean may allow), discuss the result with the Course Convenor for the coursework.

(2)    If the student discusses the result with the Course Convenor, the Course Convenor must, taking the discussion with the student into account, review the result and decide whether or not to amend the result.

(3)    The Course Convenor must tell the student the decision made on the review.

(4)    If, after discussing the final result with the Course Convenor and being told the Course Convenor's decision on the review, the student considers that the result (as amended, if at all, by the Course Convenor) is inappropriate or incorrect because the established criteria of assessment or some aspect of this instrument or relevant policy or procedure has not been followed, the student may appeal to the Associate Dean against that result.

(5)    The appeal must:

(a)    be in writing; and

(b)    be given to the College Student Office within 20 working days after the day the student is told the Course Convenor's decision (or any further time that the Associate Dean may, in writing, allow); and

(7)    The Associate Dean may:

(a)    confirm the result appealed against; or

(b)    approve marks and the grade of a final result for the student (which may be different from the marks and the grade of result recommended by the Chair of Examiners).

(8)    The Associate Dean must send the student written notice of the decision on the appeal, and a statement of reasons for the decision, within 20 working days after the day the appeal is given to the College Student Office.
