*Where s/he is of the opinion that such is appropriate, the Registrar may retrospectively exempt a student from the application of this rule.

The College will charge a fee of €32 per subject, for a re-check. In the event of a successful re-check, this fee is refundable. Please note that it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that they comply with the correct procedures or the request will not be processed.

Examination reviews

Students can apply for an examination review after Semester Two and/or Autumn Repeat results are released (when a student has a full set of results).

Students should apply for module feedback prior to a request for an examination review.

The grounds for review

Before a review procedure is initiated a detailed written submission in accordance with the following paragraph must be received from the student. The submission must identify the element or elements of the examination in relation to which the review is being sought. It must also specify the grounds on which the review is sought and must contain all information which the candidate requires to have taken into account in the review.

An application for a review will only be considered if it is based on one of the following grounds:
(i) The examination regulations of the College have not been properly implemented
(ii) The regulations do not adequately cover the candidate's case
(iii) Compassionate circumstances related to the candidate's examination situation were made known to the college by the candidate prior to or during the course of the examination concerned and of which the Board of Examiners were unaware.
