How can I apply for a remark on a formative/summative assessment? 

Students have the right to appeal assessment results and may apply to have an assessment re-marked on the Student Hub.

The application time frame is as follows: 

Please note the following important information regarding remarks: 

• Late applications will not be accepted.  
• A fee is charged per module for a remark.  
• The remark fee is refunded if:  
  1. The new mark is 10% higher than the original mark.  
  2. The new mark is a pass mark, and the original mark was a failing mark.  
  3. There is an administrative (incorrect capturing) or technical (incorrect adding of marks) error.  
• If the remark result outcome indicates that a student qualifies for a supplementary assessment, the student will be allowed to write it in the next scheduled assessment opportunity for that module.  
• In the case of group work, majority of the group must agree in writing to request the remark as the remark mark will stand for all group members. 
• The assessment will be remarked by a different marker. 
• The result of the remark will stand whether it is higher or lower than the original mark, and no second remark on a single assessment is permitted.  
• A remark report will be made available to the student/s indicating where marks were lost or gained. Students may only apply to have an assessment remarked once.  

For further details around remarks please refer to section 8.12 Students have the right to appeal assessment results of the PDIIE009: ASSESSMENT CRITERIA, MINIMUM STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES Policy document. 

Do I need to apply for the Supplementary/Resubmission Sitting and pay a fee? 

Students do not need to apply for subsequent assessment opportunities which they qualify for such as a supplementary assessment/ resubmission opportunity. However, students will only be provided with a supplementary assessment/ resubmission opportunity if performance standards are met. 

The performance standards to be eligible for a supplementary assessment/ resubmission opportunity are as follows: 

• For modules at NQF levels 5,6 and 7:  Students need to attain an overall module mark of between 40% and 48% AND achieve at least 30% in their summative assessment. Students who achieve 28% or less with automatically fail the module.  
• For modules at NQF levels 8, 9 and 10: Students need to attain an overall module mark of between 40% and 48% AND achieve at least 40% in their summative assessment. Students who achieve 38% or less will automatically fail the module.  
• Where students meet the above performance standards, the result symbol will reflect as a Supp granting entry into this opportunity 

Please take note of the conditions for a supplementary assessment/ resubmission opportunity: 

• Although students are not required to apply for this supplementary assessment/ resubmission opportunity, there is a R550.00 fee applicable per module for students who qualify and sit/ resubmit in the Supplementary/Resubmission opportunity. 
• A supplementary opportunity can only be taken in the summative period associated with the module (i.e., if your module runs in Term 1 of 2024 you must attempt the supplementary opportunity in that period and not in Term 2 of 2024 or Term 1 of 2025 unless an appropriate concession is in place).  
• The mark for the supplementary opportunity will be capped at 50% and will become the final module mark excluding any formative contributions.  
• It remains the student’s responsibility to check eligibility for a supplementary opportunity.  

For further details around supplementary assessment/ resubmission opportunities please refer to Principle 4.7 Students will be provided with a supplementary assessment opportunity if performance standards are met of the PDIIE009: ASSESSMENT CRITERIA, MINIMUM STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES Policy document.
