If formal examination errors have taken place, the faculty may have to conduct a new assessment or arrange a new examination. You can appeal against the new result according to the regulations concerning appeal about grades.
Deadline
Three weeks after you know or should have known about the condition on which the complaint is based. If you have previously asked for an explanation of grades or submitted an appeal about grades, the deadline runs from the date you have received the explanation or the appeal about grades has been settled.

You will normally receive an answer within one month. If it takes longer, you will be notified. The results are given by letter or by e-mail.
