Access to Assessment Information Students will have rights of access to information relating to assessment in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. This includes comments made on examination scripts provided in the form of a transcript, but not the scripts themselves.
A Programme may choose to release examination scripts to students to offer guidance and/or tutorial support.
Clerical Checks In some instances, students may wish to clarify that their mark or marks have been calculated correctly. This is separate from the Appeals procedure:
Only one check per assessment is permitted, and the request must be submitted to the School Head of Academic Services no more than 28 days following publication of the official results.
Notification of the receipt of the request will normally be provided to the student within 7 days of the date on which the request was received, with a full response provided within a further 21 days following that notification. This will consist either of a new mark, or confirmation that the mark will remain unchanged.
Where a change of mark has occurred, the Assessment Board will be notified and appropriate action taken.
