RE-MARKING OF SCRIPTS
Candidates’ scripts may be re-marked in the following cases:
|
| 2.1 |
Candidates who fail one or more subjects in the National Senior Certificate/ABET Level 4 and Senior Certificate Examinations may have his or her script(s) in such subject(s) remarked. |
| 2.2 |
A candidate who passes the National Senior Certificate examination, but who wishes to obtain an improved mark in one or more subjects for a particular purpose (e.g. matriculation endorsement, a bursary or to meet the special requirements of a tertiary institution), may, with the approval of the Department, have his or her script(s) in such subject(s) re-marked.
In such a case, a letter of motivation requesting the re-mark must be submitted in writing and must accompany the application.
Applications not accompanied by the afore-mentioned will not be considered. (Note that the Department will be prepared to agree to the re-marking of scripts in a subject in which a candidate has failed to obtain 40% only for the purpose of obtaining matriculation endorsement and/or when a bursary is at stake).
|
| 2.3 |
APPLICATIONS FOR RE-MARKING OF SCRIPTS, TOGETHER WITH THE PRESCRIBED FEE OF R80.00 PER SUBJECT SHOULD REACH THE DEPARTMENT ON OR BEFORE THE CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS. NO APPLICATION FOR THE RE-MARKING OF SCRIPTS WILL BE CONSIDERED UNLESS THE PRESCRIBED AMOUNT ACCOMPANIES THE APPLICATION WITHIN THE STIPULATED PERIOD. |

REFUNDING OF RE-MARKING FEE |
| 5.1 |
Re-marking fees paid for any subject will be refunded if, as a result of the re-marking, the candidate:
- passes a subject or subjects, which he or she initially failed; or
- is awarded marks that improve the result in a subject by at least one level.
|

Refunds of re-marking fees will be made once the re-marking process has been completed for all subjects. |
