UNSW Business School has agreed the following protocol under which students may view their final exam script. This procedure applies across all disciplinary schools, without exception.
- A student must lodge a request to view their final exam script within 3 working days immediately following the official release of overall course results. This request must be lodged with the School / Lecturer.
- The exact person/person(s) to contact will be clearly communicated to students, in writing, in advance through course Moodle sites (or equivalent).
- The School / Lecturer will agree a time at which students wishing to see their exam scripts can do so (or may provide students access in other ways). When finalising a time, there will be regard for student access and availability considerations (such as time-zone differences when students are studying remotely and observance of student equity and inclusion guidelines).
- This information will be clearly communicated to students, in writing, by the School / Lecturer through course Moodle sites (or equivalent).
- Viewing of the exam script will be for a maximum of 30 minutes. This may take place under the supervision of the Lecturer or a nominated supervisor, where specified by the School.
- At the designated time, the student will:
- Be required to confirm their identify by either showing their student card or entering their credentials via an authenticated site, prior to being given access to the exam script; and
- At a minimum, be given their exam script, a copy of the exam questions and a mark scheme that shows marks allocated to part questions.
- Where available, a student may be able to view a detailed mark sheet, sample responses, or answers to questions.
- Wherever possible, students will be permitted to view their marked answers to multiple choice questions, but in exceptional circumstances this may not be possible. This restriction to clause 6 will be clearly communicated to students, in writing, by the School / Lecturer through the relevant course Moodle sites (or equivalent).
- At the designated viewing time, the student must agree to:
- Not copy or photograph any part of any document provided; and
- Not use recording software and/or devices to capture any aspect of the viewing.
- Students inspecting their exams will not be permitted at that time to discuss or dispute the marks allocated.
- If, after viewing the script, the student feels that there has been an error in marking, they may lodge a formal application for re-assessment in line with the normal University procedure. Note, an application for review of results on a final exam must be submitted no later than 5 working days from the date of release of results (see the ‘Your results’ page for further details).
- Records will be kept of all students requesting to view their exam scripts.
