Recheck

If you believe that an error was made in the calculation of your marks, you may seek a recheck.  A recheck does not involve re-assessing your work.  It is simply a check to make sure that all components of your work were properly included in the overall result.  

A recheck request must be submitted within 2 weeks of the publication of the official ratified examination results. The Exam Recheck Request Form and further information about the recheck process can be found here.

Please note, you cannot submit a recheck request for results that are Indicative (Provisional). If you have any questions in relation to your Indicative marks you should contact your lecturer and/or Department for more detailed feedback on your marks.

You have the right to appeal an exam result. 

Please note that an appeal is not a remarking of your paper.  An appeal can only be made on one of two grounds:

1. If there is evidence of substantive irregularity in the conduct of the examination
2. If there are circumstances which the Programme Examination Board was not aware of when its decision was taken. 

If you are considering an appeal, please read the details of the appeal process available on the Registrar’s Office website at https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/registrar/examination-recheck
Note: Requests for Exam Appeals must be submitted within 3 weeks of publication of official ratified results.

Please note, you cannot submit an appeal request for results that are Indicative (Provisional). If you have any questions in relation to your Indicative marks you should contact your lecturer and/or Department for more detailed feedback on your marks.

Review under previous Marks and Standards
If you started your degree before the (2016) Marks and Standards were introduced, you may be eligible for a review under the previous rules.  This will apply if ALL of the conditions below are true:

• You started your degree in 2015-16 or earlier.
• You have been registered each year since then without a break.
• You are blocked from progression (or graduating).
• You would have been able to progress (or graduate) if the old rules applied.

Please contact the Examinations Office ([email protected]) for the request form within 2 weeks of the release of results.
Please remember to quote your student number in all correspondence.

Composition of the award mark
Your award mark is calculated as the weighted average of all of your years of study, excluding first year and years of study abroad.  The weighting is adjusted so that the final year contributes 70%.  This is shown in the table below.

If you are graduating this year, and did some of your second year modules in 2015-16 or before, you may request a review using the form above.   To apply for this review, you should wait until after the results have been released.
