Your rights as a student to have assessed work re-marked is determined at faculty and department level, with reference to the work and time involved for staff. If you do not agree with an assessment mark, speak with your faculty about how to proceed.
Faculty of Arts
If you are dissatisfied with your mark/grade for a particular assignment or unit (not including a research thesis of 66 per cent or greater), you should, in the first instance, discuss the matter with the tutor or coordinator of the unit.
If you do not wish to discuss your mark/grade with the tutor, or you are still dissatisfied after discussion with the unit coordinator, then you may request either that your mark be reviewed or that the work be re-marked. Your request must be made within four weeks of the date you received the result. `Review' means that the work is looked at by a second marker, who knows what the original mark and comments were. `Re-marking' is done by a second marker, who does not know the original mark: in cases of re-marking, the second mark is final, even if it is lower than the original one.
Where you remain dissatisfied with the outcome of the re-assessment process, you should initiate the faculty's grievance procedures.
Research students should consult the Survival Guide at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/research/survival/index.html for details about the procedures for examination of a research thesis.
