What is UCD Professional Academy's grade appeal process?

UCD Professional Academy is committed to providing an excellent training experience for all learners. We consider a robust and consistent approach to assessment to be an integral part of that commitment. However, the Professional Academy also recognises that from time to time, situations may arise where learners consider they have grounds to appeal decisions related to assessment of their academic work.

Learners wishing to appeal assessment decisions must do so within one week from receiving notification of their grade by filling in the Grade Appeals form. Please refer to the Professional Academy’s procedure for submitting appeals (the procedure is detailed on the second page of the form).

Learners are asked not to direct queries regarding grades to individual Subject Matter Experts.

Once the appeal has been considered, a determination will be reached by the Academic Office and the outcome communicated directly to you.
