Re-assessment of Result& Academic Appeal procedures:

If a student is not happy with his/ her results, that student may appeal against their grade via a written letter, clearly stating the grounds of appeal to the Chief Executive Officer. This should be submitted after completion of the subject and within fourteen days of commencement of the new term.

Re-assessment Process:

  • An appeal in writing is made to theAcademic Managerproviding reasons for re-assessment /appeal.
  • Academic Managerwill delegate another member to review the assessment.
  • The student will be advised of the review result done by another assessor.
  • If the student is still not satisfied and further challenges the decision, then a review panel is formed comprising the lecturer/trainer in charge and theAcademic Manageror if need be, an external assessor.
  • The Institute will advise the student within 14 days from the submission date of the appeal. The decision of the panel will be deemed to be final.
  • If the student is still not satisfied with the result, he / she has the right to seek independent advice or follow external mediation option with nominated mediation agency.
  • Any student who fails a compulsory subject or appeals unsuccessfully will be required to re-enrol in that subject.

The cost of reassessment will be borne by the Institute. The external assessor will base his/her judgement based on principles of assessment. These principles require assessment to be reliable, fair, practical, and valid.

Academic Appeals:

  • If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of the re-evaluation process, you have a right to appeal through academic appeals handling protocol.
  • To appeal a decision, the person is required to complete the WARATAH - Request for Appeal of a Decision form with all other supporting documents, if any. This form is available via our website. The completed Request for Appeal form is to be submitted to the Student Support Officer either in hard copy or electronically via the following contact details:
  • Student Support Officer, Suite 19 650 George St, Sydney, NSW2000.
  • Email: info@waratah.edu.au
  • The notice of appeal should be in writing addressed to the Chief Executive Officer and submitted within seven days of notification of the outcome of the re-evaluation process.

Allow someone else to write or edit yourwork (without RTO approval)

Write or edit work for another student

Offer to complete work or seek payment for completing academic work for other students.

Both collusion and plagiarism can occur in group work. For examples of plagiarism, collusion and academic misconduct in group work please refer to the RTOs policy on Academic integrity, plagiarism and collusion.

Plagiarism and collusion constitute cheating. Disciplinary action will be taken against students who engage in plagiarism and collusion as outlined in RTOs policy.
