Can an academic appeal increase my marks?

Academic appeal reviewers cannot simply award you a higher mark/degree classification. The only instance in which marks would be reviewed is if there had been a procedural error with the marking process itself. If that was the case, your work would be remarked. This could mean that the new marks could be higher or lower than your current marks. If your work is remarked, your original marks would be voided and would not be reinstated.

There are some circumstances in which you may be entitled to further attempts at assessments. For example, when you were unable for valid reasons to declare extenuating circumstances at the appropriate time.
