Appeals

We work hard to mark fairly, but we're human, and you have every right to ask us to look again. This policy explains what you can appeal, the steps to take and how long each one takes. Appealing will never count against you. Jackie and Jess

What you can appeal

• A Not yet decision on a portfolio task or the capstone, once you've read the feedback.
• A decision about a reasonable adjustment or special consideration.
• A malpractice decision.

You can't appeal a knowledge check score, because it's marked automatically. You can report a question you think is wrong.

How it works

1. Talk to your assessor. Reply to your feedback within 14 calendar days and say what you disagree with. Most questions are sorted out here.
2. Formal review. If you're still unhappy, email [email protected] within 14 calendar days of your assessor's reply, with "Appeal" in the subject line. Say which task, what decision, and why you think it's wrong. A quality assurer who didn't mark your work, and doesn't know you, reviews it against the marking table. We reply within 15 working days.
3. Final review. If you're still unhappy, ask within 14 calendar days for the centre lead to look at how the review was handled. They reply within 15 working days. That decision is final within Teach.Dance.

You can keep working on the rest of your course while an appeal is open. We keep a record of every appeal and its outcome.
