Section 23. Appeals regarding procedural errors in the examination

A student who has sat an exam or a test or performed some other work that will be assessed with a grade, may appeal regarding procedural errors within three weeks after the student learnt of or should have learnt of the error. The appeal must be addressed to the tertiary vocational college. The board is the appeals body.
An examination result must be cancelled if errors have been made that may have had an impact on the student's performance or the assessment of the performance. If the error can be corrected by means of a re-grading, this must be done. If the error cannot be corrected by means of a re-grading, a new examination, test, etc. must be conducted with new examiners. A student may appeal the grading pursuant to Section 22.
If a student has requested an explanation for or appealed the grading, the appeal deadline starts running from when the student received the explanation, or until the appeal of the grading has been finally decided.
The tertiary vocational college or the appeals body may decide that a re-grading must be conducted or a new examination, test, etc. must be held if procedural errors have been made that might have had an impact on the performance of one or more students or the assessment of their performance.
