Exams

Applications to view scripts or get a grade breakdown for School of Law exams taken in Autumn 2023 have now closed. 

As always, the recheck process is managed centrally by Academic Registry. You can apply for an appeal through their hub.

This is a  resource for all information related to examinations, ensuring you have the knowledge and resources you need to excel academically.

Our academic calendars and Academic Regulations and Procedures outline important dates, regulations and policies that govern the examination process.

We also provide detailed grade descriptors and grading bands, giving you a clear understanding of how your work will be assessed and evaluated.

Our Teaching and Assessment Practices for Students detail the various methods of assessment that may be used during your studies, and how they will be marked and graded. This will allow you to approach your work with confidence and clarity.

Additionally, we offer script viewing for all students, allowing you to review your work and gain valuable feedback from your professors.

Script viewing

Students are entitled to view their exam script if they sat an end of semester exam at the University of Limerick. This applies to the following modules:

Applications to view scripts have now closed. Those who have already applied may visit the School of law on our viewing dates, Tuesday and Wednesday 6th and 7th February from 10am-3pm.

Note these are not the same dates as advertised by Academic registry and available on the Academic calendar.

Grade breakdown

For all other modules, students are entitled to apply for a grade breakdown (as per the form at the top of this page).

Deadline for applications is 1 February 2024 at 5pm, which has now passed. No further applications will be accepted.

Completed grade breakdowns will be circulated to all applicants during our viewing days, the 6th and 7th of February.

What should a student do if they are unhappy with a grade?

Should a student consider that they may have been assigned an incorrect grade, a clear procedure is provided for in the Academic Regulations (link above). The student may request a recheck of the grade within two weeks of the relevant semester results becoming available. To request a recheck, the student must complete the appropriate form (available from the Academic Registry office) and pay a fee.

After receiving the appropriate form, the relevant  academic staff member will then (and only then)  review the script for accuracy. The recheck request form will be returned to the Student Academic Administration Office with the decision noted on it (including any change of grade). It should be noted that, should the grade recheck so determine, grades may be changed to lower or higher grades.

You are required to follow this process. You should not therefore directly contact the relevant academic staff member in respect of a grade recheck.

Should a student not be satisfied with the outcome of the grade recheck, they may appeal the matter to the Head of Department responsible for the module. The appeal must be made within two weeks of the publication of the grade recheck result. To appeal a grade recheck, the student must complete the appropriate form (available from the Student Academic Administration Office) and pay a fee.

The appeal must be on stated grounds and should include a full and complete statement on why the student believes the grade awarded is incorrect. It should be noted that, should the grade appeal so determine, grades may be changed to lower or higher grades.

You are required to follow this process. You should not therefore directly contact the relevant academic staff member in respect of a grade appeal.
