Academic decisions

Simply disagreeing with your assessment grade or mark is not  a valid ground for complaint.  Academic decisions based on academic judgement are not subject to complaint or appeal.

However, grade/mark disputes that relate to procedural issues or administrative errors in the way the assessment was communicated, conducted or assessed and that do not comply with requirements set out in the Assessment and Results Policy (MPF1326), are grounds for making a complaint.

What to do:

• Contact your subject coordinator or faculty student experience team to request a review of your grade/mark or assessment piece.

If you receive a notice of unsatisfactory academic progress, a dedicated process applies.

What to do:

• Timelines are strict — act promptly after receiving the notice and follow the instructions in the notice
• See the Student Appeals Page
• See the Academic Progress Review Policy (MPF1291) for full details

A selection review considers whether the University’s selection policies and processes were applied correctly. It does not re-rank applicants or reassess academic merit where the original decision was correct.

You can request a review if it is not clear why your application was unsuccessful, believe the information you provided was not taken into account, or think there was an error in the assessment of your application against the published selection criteria. Selection review requests are not considered on the basis of academic merit.

You must request a selection review before lodging a student appeal.

What to do:

• Submit your request on the Request a review page
• See the Selection and Admission Policy (MPF1295) for details on grounds for review
