Students may request checking of the assessment results of a course if they have reasons to believe that there is any procedural irregularity or technical error in the determination of that result (for example, arithmetical errors, wrong mark entries, unmarked assignments). The checking of assessment results does not entail academic re-assessment of any materials or coursework presented by the student. The checking may result in upgrading / downgrading / no change of the initial grade and such result shall be final. The application fee will be refunded if the final grade of the course is higher than the initial grade.

Application for checking of assessment results should be made before 5:30 pm, 21 February 2023 (Tue) by submitting a completed form Application for Checking of Assessment Results (HP44-APL) together with an application fee (HK$500 per course) to the College Office.
