Review of Results
If you believe your mark for an assessment does not accurately reflect how well you performed, you may be able to apply for a review.
A review allows for your assessment to be looked at by a different educator and address any specific concerns raised by you about the assessment. This process focuses only on specific concerns you raise about how your assessment was marked. It is not a way to get more feedback. If you want feedback, please contact your lead educator, discipline lead, or the SASQ team in your Faculty or University Academic Unit (UAU).
A Review of Results will result in one of the following:
- no change to the mark; or
- a higher mark awarded for the assessment; or
- a lower mark awarded for the assessment.
Where a higher or lower mark results from a review, this may affect your overall grade for the subject.
When applying, you will need to confirm that you have read the Review of Results Procedure.
Before seeking a review, you should know that there is a limited window for applying (see the Review of Interim Assessment or Review of Final Assessment sections below).
There are also only limited grounds for requesting a review. You must demonstrate that:
- there were computational, arithmetical or other clerical errors in the determination of the assessment mark, including that the weightings specified by the subject outline were incorrect; or
- the assessment was not conducted or graded in accordance with published University policy, procedure, or assessment criteria; or
- the marker or assessor had a conflict of interest or acted with bias during the grading process.
Once you apply, your submission will be checked to see if it meets the eligibility criteria (see the Conditions and Limitations section below). If your application is not eligible, your assessment won’t be reviewed, and you’ll be notified in writing with the reason. If your application is rejected, you can’t resubmit or appeal the decision.

Appealing the outcome of a Review of Results
If you're not satisfied with the outcome of a Review of Results, you may be eligible to submit an appeal to the University Appeals Committee.
Before submitting an appeal, you should note that:
- the Committee will not reassess the academic merit of your work; and
- even if your appeal is successful, the Committee cannot award extra marks or change your final grade but it may direct the Faculty or UAU to further review the original decision.
Before submitting an appeal, make sure you visit Review and Appeals and read the Student Review and Appeals Procedure. This will help you understand the conditions you need to meet before submitting your appeal.
