We do not allow retrospective re-marking.
One such student has just complained about this to the OIA but the OIA has said
that our policy is reasonable.

Subject: retrospective marking
Dear all,
Disability Services at QUB have recently been approached by
academic staff regarding a policy on retrospective grading of coursework for
students with dyslexia.Disability Services have advised academic staff that
students will receive consideration for spelling and grammar from the
point in which they register with the service and declare their
dyslexia. However, it appears that there has been an increase
in the number of students (newly diagnosed with dyslexia) asking academic
staff to regrade their past coursework, based on their new diagnosis. Has
anyone heard of this ever happening and if so, how is it dealt with?
Thanks
