# Grade Review & Contestation

## Understand how your work is assessed and how to request a formal grade review if needed. This page outlines when and how to contest a grade, what evidence to provide, and what to expect from the review process.

 

### 🎓 Grade Review & Contestation

#### 🧭 Understanding Your Assessment

At Tomorrow University, assessment is designed to support your learning — not just evaluate it.

Receiving a **“Not Yet Achieved”** is part of the process. It highlights areas for improvement and helps you develop the skills needed to meet the challenge criteria.

However, if you believe your work **meets the assessment criteria**, you have the right to request a formal grade review.

### 🚀 Before You Submit a Contestation

Most concerns can be resolved quickly by taking a few key steps:

### 📋 Review the Criteria

Carefully revisit the challenge rubric and evaluation criteria:

- What was assessed?
- Which criteria were not met?

### 💬 Clarify with Your Tutor or Challenge Owner

Before submitting a formal request:

- Reach out via Slack or during live sessions
- Ask for clarification on specific feedback points

👉 In many cases, this resolves the issue immediately.

### 🔍 Compare & Reflect

- Review any available **example submissions or case studies (if available)**
- Compare your work against the expectations
- Identify specific gaps or misunderstandings

### ⚙️ When Should You Submit a Grade Review?

You should submit a formal request **only if**:

- You have reviewed the feedback carefully
- You have contacted the tutor or challenge owner
- You still believe your work meets the required criteria
- You can clearly justify your position with evidence

### 🧾 Submit a Grade Review Request

If your concern remains unresolved, you can submit a formal request:

### 👉 [Submit your request here](https://www.notion.so/tomorrowuniversity/75e9492e9bd7436a93b5adf5ed62910e?pvs=106)

#### 📝 What You’ll Need to Provide

To ensure a fair and efficient review, your request must include:

- Challenge name and context
- Your original grade
- A clear explanation of **why you are contesting the grade**
- Supporting evidence from your work
- Confirmation that you have already contacted the tutor or challenge owner

### 🔄 Review Process

Once submitted:

1. Your request is reviewed by your **Program Director or an independent assessor**
2. Your work is reassessed against the original criteria
3. A final decision is made

📅 **Timeline:** up to 4 weeks

### ⚖️ Possible Outcomes

After review, your grade may:

- ⬆️ Increase (if the original grading was too strict)
- ➡️ Stay the same (if the original grading was accurate)
- ⬇️ Decrease (if the original grading was too generous)

👉 The result of the re-evaluation is **final and binding**

### 📌 Important Notes

- Grade updates might appear on your **final transcript**, not in the app
- Requests should be **clear, respectful, and evidence-based**
- Submitting a request means you accept all possible outcomes

### 🌱 Our Commitment

We are committed to:

- Fair and transparent assessment
- Consistent academic standards
- Supporting your growth as a learner

This process ensures that all grade reviews are handled **professionally, consistently, and with integrity**.

#### 💬 Need Support?

If you’re unsure whether to submit a request:

- Speak with your **Tutor or Challenge Owner**
- Reach out to your **Program Director**

#### 🎯 Final Advice

Before submitting a contestation, ask yourself:

👉 *Can I clearly demonstrate — using evidence — that I met the criteria?*

If yes, proceed confidently.  
If not, focus on learning from the feedback and improving your next submission.
