At LSE, there is no provision for an exam script or coursework to be re-marked once the final mark has been confirmed by an external examiner. However, although the academic judgement of the internal and external examiners cannot be called into question, the School does permit students to request an administrative mark check in certain specific circumstances.
This check verifies that the published final mark on LSE for You corresponds to the mark you were awarded by the relevant academic department. It does not constitute a re-marking of the work.
What can you do?
Administrative mark checks are only available for ratified final results that are either:
- Failed courses
- Passed courses with borderline marks
- Passed components with borderline marks
'Borderline' is defined as where your mark is no more than 3 marks away from the next higher classification boundary in a single course.
Mark checks are not available for provisional January results or 12 month PG results prior to ratification. Mark checks are not available for marks released in previous academic years.
Further details on the administrative mark check can be found on the LSE website. We encourage you to read through this before you engage in the process.
