Grade Review & Contestation

🎓 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

📝 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
