If a student is not happy with his/ her results, that student may appeal against their grade via a written letter, clearly
stating the grounds of appeal to the Chief Executive Officer. This should be submitted after completion of the subject
and within fourteen days of commencement of the new term.
Re-assessment Process:
An appeal in writing is made to the Academic Manager providing reasons for re-assessment /appeal.
Academic Manager will delegate another member to review the assessment.
The student will be advised of the review result done by another assessor.

the lecturer/trainer in charge and the Academic Manager or if need be an external assessor.
The Institute will advise the student within 14 days from the submission date of the appeal. The decision of
the panel will be deemed to be final.
If the student is still not satisfied with the result, he / she has the right to seek independent advice or follow
external mediation option with nominated mediation agency.
Any student who fails a compulsory subject or appeals unsuccessfully will be required to re-enrol in that
subject.
The cost of reassessment will be borne by the Institute. The external assessor will base his/her judgement based on
principles of assessment. These principles require assessment to be reliable, fair, practical and valid.
Academic Appeals:

academic appeals handling protocol.

days of notification of the outcome of the re-evaluation process.
If the appeal is not lodged in the specified time, the result will stand and you must re-enrol in the unit.
In emergency circumstances, such as in cases of serious illness or injury, you must forward a medical
certificate in support of a deferred appeal. The notice of appeal must be made within three working days of
