When you can appeal your final result
You can appeal your final result if:
- You can present additional information that couldn't reasonably have been made available before the final result was approved and therefore couldn’t have been brought to AUT’s attention at the time.
- You can show new or additional evidence that there was a material irregularity in how the assessment was conducted, or in the procedures of the assessment board or board of studies. This means that AUT procedures were not followed, or an assessment was conducted in a way that you think disadvantaged you unfairly.
