Students who wish to appeal against the result of course-based assessment should be guided by the following procedures:
A student who wishes to appeal against course-based assessment including examination grades should first appeal in writing to the course instructor and the Faculty/School Dean via the relevant Faculty/School Office or the course offering unit within one week after being notified of the course semester grades.
The course instructor shall review the case. The student should be informed of the decision within a reasonable time (normally, three weeks). Any changes in grades should be reported to the Academic Registry/Deputy Academic Registrar at the same time.
If the student is not satisfied with the decision of the review, he/she may appeal in writing to the Academic Registrar/Deputy Academic Registrar within one week after receiving the review results, giving full reasons in support of the appeal. A fee will be charged for the appeal.
The Academic Registrar/Deputy Academic Registrar shall review the case and determine if there are grounds for re-consideration:
i) If the Academic Registrar/Deputy Academic Registrar considers that there are insufficient grounds for the appeal, the appeal will be refused, and the fee not refunded.
ii) If the appeal is accepted, the Academic Registrar/Deputy Academic Registrar shall reconsider the case in consultation with the course instructor and the Faculty/School Dean to make a final decision. If deemed appropriate, the Academic Registrar/Deputy Academic Registrar may convene an Appeal Panel to review the case to make a final decision.
If the student is not satisfied with the decision by the Academic Registrar/Deputy Academic Registrar, he/she could appeal to Vice President in charge of Academic Affairs for review, either for a possible further action or confirmation of the decision of the Academic Registrar/Deputy Academic Registrar.
