E/6.6 Access to assessment results |
||||||||||||||||
6.6.1 Policy 6.6.1 PolicyThe University is committed to a policy of openness with respect to the release of assessment results. This policy of openness supports the purposes of assessment, including the objective of providing feedback as an aid to future learning (see C/9.1.1 ), and meets QUT's obligations under freedom of information and privacy legislation. 6.6.2 Access to marksFor units where percentage marks are calculated, such marks will be placed on the confidential individual student records located in the QUT Virtual web pages ( https://qutvirtual.qut.edu.au/ ). Provision of information to students about component marks for individual assessment items in a unit is encouraged. 6.6.3 Access to examination scriptsA student may request access to their own examination scripts, written answers to examination questions or other forms of written assessment. The request must be made within three months of the release of final results in the unit, as this is the minimum period for which examination scripts or other written materials must be retained (for further information, refer to http://www.governance.qut.edu.au/rms/accessing_records/ ). Where a student intends to seek review of the grade, access to the written materials should be sought and provided within the timeframe specified for review of grades (see E/9.1 ).
Unit coordinators must make appropriate arrangements for students to obtain access to examination scripts and other written materials. Access is generally in the form of perusal of the examination script under supervision, which may incorporate individual feedback on performance where possible.
However, where examination question papers or other forms of assessment will be re-used in successive examinations, unit coordinators must arrange for students to receive advice on their performance with reference to their own examination scripts in a way which does not prejudice the examination mode. In this case, the student is not entitled to obtain a photocopy of the examination script. 6.6.4 Return of assignments to studentsAssignments are generally returned to students following completion of marking. This should be done in a manner which does not breach other students' privacy and which protects students' work from tampering or unauthorised collection.
