Types of assessment adjustment reviews and request process.

Review of an assessment adjustment decision

You can request a review if you disagree with a decision made on your special consideration or extension application.

You can request a review if you believe:

There are two stages of application processing:

Eligibility. This is where we check your documents to determine if you qualify.
Outcome. This is where we decide what adjustment(s) to offer for each impacted assessment.

You can request a review if you disagree with the decision made at either stage.

You must request a review:

Submit your request via the special consideration application portal.

Decision provided: We will notify you when your request has been completed.
Request a review: You can only request one review per decision. Submit your request within five business days of receiving your notification.
Review processed: We assess requests following the Assessment and Results Policy.
Review finalised: We’ll notify you within five business days with the outcome of your review.

You can track your review request in the application portal. You will see one of the following statuses for your review type.

After your review request has been processed, you will receive one of the following review decisions.

- Eligibility changed: Your application has changed from ineligible to eligible. We will notify you once we've decided what adjustment(s) to offer.
- Outcome changed: Your faculty or school has changed your outcome.
The review confirmed the original decision was the most appropriate for your circumstances and documentation. There is no change to your eligibility or outcome.
If your review is unsuccessful, you may submit a complaint or raise a grievance in accordance with the Student Complaints and Grievances Policy (MPF1066). Learn more on the Student Complaints webpage.
