» Examination
A grading decision cannot be appealed to a higher authority. However, a decision can be reassessed or corrected by the university, which means that the examiner reviews the grading of your assignment.
If you as a student feel that an examination has not been assessed correctly, you can request to have the awarded grade reassessed or corrected, depending on the case.
