| Departments
will have Subject Assessment Review Panels (SARP) for monitoring
the academic standard and quality of subjects, and ratifying subject
grades. The Board of Examiners (BoE) for each programme is responsible
for making a decision on the student's classification of award and
on cases of de-registration and other extenuating circumstances.
A student should make his/her appeal in writing first to the Head
of Department hosting the programme within 5 working days upon the
public announcement of the examination results. The Head of Department
shall deal with the appeal if the student is studying in a department-based
programme scheme. If the student is studying in other types of programmes/schemes,
the Head of Department shall refer the appeal to the following authorised
person:
- the Programme Leader for Faculty/School-hosted Undergraduate
Programmes; or
- the Scheme Committee Chairmen for Postgraduate Schemes
or Faculty School-hosted Undergraduate Schemes.
The student will be informed of the result of the appeal in writing
within 7 working days after receipt of the letter of appeal. If
the student has other grounds which warrant a review of SARP/BOE's
decision, he/she may then appeal in writing to the Academic Secretary,
but this should be submitted not later than 7 working days after
receipt of the Head of Department's / authorised person's reply.
Please note that a student's disagreement with
the decision of a Subject Assessment Review Panel/Board of Examiners
is not in itself an adequate ground for an appeal. Please refer
to the (Student
Handbook) for further details on the appeal procedures. |
