APPEALING RESULTS

Release of marks

All marks are released on the Student Information System. The release of marks happens via the Registrar: Student Administration and Support office. The release dates will be communicated to students throughout the year. Progress marks for all qualifications are released after Term 1 and Term 3. Students will receive an official academic report at the end of Term 2 and at the end of the year. Only marks released on the system by the registrar office are considered valid. Discrepancies of marks received via the lecturer will not be considered. This is due to our marks verification process.

REASSESSMENT

A reassessment opportunity is granted when a student receives a mark between 40 - 47% for the summative assessment of a module and 40 - 49% for the summative assessment of a term. A reassessment fee of R250 is payable to the finance office. The reassessment opportunity grants the student the opportunity to revise a summative assessment task that they have failed, under certain conditions. Reassessment opportunities can be either the resubmission of work (projects) or a re-examination (exams or tests). The assessment task is then assessed by the original assessor within a specified time frame. It is the responsibility of the student to initiate the reassessment process. Students who qualify for reassessment should ask for guidance in improving work. If a student is allowed a resubmission, it is assumed that the student will attempt to improve their work as it was before the resubmission, taking into account the problems noted during the first assessment opportunity. A student can only resubmit a project once or rewrite an exam once. Students also cannot request that a resubmission be remarked.

Marks for reassessed modules, terms or portfolios will not exceed 50%. In the case where the reassessed component comprises the majority, but not the full module or term mark, this component is assessed up to the point where the overall term or module mark does not exceed 50%. Reassessments take place per term, per module and per final portfolio. No reassessment opportunities will be granted on year marks. Reassessment will not be granted in the following instances: + Non-submissions: Students who fail to submit a project and have no valid reason, as determined by the assessor, will receive no marks (0) and forfeit any opportunity to resubmit or be re-examined, even if the non-submission of the component results in a term mark of between 40 - 49%. + Late resubmissions: No late resubmissions will be accepted without an approved Request for Extension, and written confirmation thereof from the lecturer or Registrar’s office. Dates are predetermined and no late submissions will be accepted on any other dates. + Submissions that are handed in without the Reassessment Application Form. Please note that reassessments submitted without the Reassessment Application Form will not be considered complete. The mark will therefore, not be adjusted.

Reassessment processes for SETA accredited certificates

Unless otherwise stated in this section, standard reassessment rules and procedures apply to students enrolled for SETA registered certificates. The biggest difference in reassessment is the reassessment timeline, eligible mark range and an additional reassessment attempt. + Certificate students are allowed a first resubmission per module on any failing mark (not just between 40-47%), and can therefore include cases of non-submissions. This resubmission will not incur the standard reassessment fee but can only take place during the standard reassessment blocks per term (within 14 days of marks being released).
