Grade Remarking

A student who feels that he/she does not deserve the grade(s) he/she has earned shall have the right to appeal for a remarking of his/her examination papers within one week after the official issuance of grade report.

1. A request for re-marking of examination papers should be made in writing to the head of the concerned department after the official issuance of grades. The student shall pay a remarking fee of Birr 20.
2. The department head shall present the request for remarking to an ad-hoc committee, which shall have three members including the department head, who shall always chair the committee meeting. The instructor/instructors who have taught the course shall not be part of the committee.
3. The concerned instructor shall produce the student's final exam-paper, the raw scores the student has achieved in the continuous assessment and the answer key as well.
4. When marking the paper(s) the committee should compare and contrast the way the paper is marked with other papers marked by the same instructor for the same course(s) in the same semester. Students can request for remarking of test papers too.
5. The student shall be notified of the result of the remarking within a week after the student's application has been received by the departments.
6. The remarking fee shall be refunded if the remarking proves that the student was unfairly graded and the committee decides that he/she deserves a better grade than the one previously awarded to him/her.
7. The decision of the committee shall be final.
8. Records of remarking cases must be kept by the department and the dean's office.
