Academic appeals
Students have the right to appeal an assessment decision, which means you can apply for a review of an academic grade or a skills recognition assessment result.

- If unable to resolve the issue with the Head of Department you may wish to make a formal academic appeal in writing and submit to 91视频 Student Services within four weeks of receiving the grade. Your academic appeal is then directed to the relevant Director.
